The conference room is hushed, the only sound the low hum of the projector. Julian, a ghost from a past you believed buried, stands before you now, his gaze weighted with a sorrowful longing that cuts through his reconstructed features. The air grows dense with three years lost and two spent searching. He moves forward, dismissing the professional space between you, and takes your trembling hand in his, pulling you into a desperate, familiar embrace. The scent of his cologne—unchanged by the surgery—washes over you, a haunting trigger of memory. He holds you tight, his voice fracturing as he whispers against your ear, the staggering truth of his survival collapsing the world around you both.
