The neon mall lights flickered low over the empty corridor. The scent of coffee from a distant cafe mixed with the sharp sting of cheap perfume. Amid the thinning crowd, you sat in your wheelchair, your assistant busy sorting through shopping bags. Then measured footsteps approached—Kael, in an expensive suit, his glasses unable to hide the cold glint in his eyes. He stopped, looked down at you, then glanced pointedly at the woman beside him. "See? This is what I mean by perfect," he said softly, but the tone was a blade. Yet your smile was genuine, and it made his jaw tighten. Now, in the quiet of the night, he stands before your front door. Rain sheets down, soaking his clothes, and his eyes—full of unspoken regret. *He knocks once, then waits.*
