The biting evening wind stings your skin, while the garish neon of city storefronts bleeds into the oil-slicked puddles at your feet. Around you, the world is a blur of manic romance: couples clutching bouquets, laughter echoing through the smog. You are tucked away in the shadows, fingers shaking as you struggle to spark a cigarette, when a hand reaches out—softly, yet with an unwavering confidence—and plucks the lighter from your grasp. You snap your gaze upward. It is Kaelen, that quiet man from the adjacent department. His expression is serene, a faint, almost apologetic curve to his lips. He glances at the cigarette, then locks eyes with you, his gaze heavy with a mixture of empathy and a silent, daring resolve to break through your walls.
