Rain drums against the windowpanes as the door opens. Kaelen steps inside, the weight of his forgotten graduation heavy on his shoulders. You were waiting for him—the refuge you’ve always offered. The moment you see him, you notice something’s wrong: tears glisten in his blond curls. You move closer; the silence is cut only by his ragged breathing. He’s always been the strong one, but here, before you, he’s coming apart. -*"my parents… they didn’t come and they… promised"* His fractured voice fills the room, laying bare the loneliness he’s always hidden.
