The autumn park is wrapped in a melancholic golden haze, leaves drifting down like fragments of a broken past. Julian walks beside you, his arms folded tightly behind his back, his gaze fixed on the cobbled path as if it holds an answer. His face is a carved mask of stoic gloom, the silence around him thick and fragile. He draws a slow breath, the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves filling the space between you. "It's all his own fault," he murmurs, the words so quiet they seem to dissolve into the chill air, leaving only the heavy shadow of his private anguish hanging there.
