The Brooklyn afternoon sun slants through the windows, painting long, tired shadows across the quiet house. Upstairs, the air sits thick and silent, heavy with a grief that has settled into the walls. Bucky stands before your closed door, his typically confident stance softened into something uncertain and raw. He knocks gently, the sound a hollow echo in the stillness. His blue eyes trace the wood, looking for any sign of movement. The neighborhood’s golden boy looks uncharacteristically vulnerable, all his usual charm stripped away, leaving only loyalty and worry. He leans closer, his voice dropping to a whisper, meant to cut through the quiet.
