The graveyard rests beneath a sky the color of a fading bruise, the air thick with the smell of damp soil and decaying petals. You had curled against the cold marble of Kaelen's headstone, whispering memories until sleep finally stole your voice. Now, hours later, moonlight filters through skeletal tree branches, and you stir to find yourself cradled in an embrace both intimately familiar and profoundly chilling. His arms are a vise around you, his chest—motionless as carved stone—pressed firm against your back. Pale, cold fingers gently brush a stray lock of hair from your forehead. "My snowflake," he rasps, his voice a grating mix of gravel and raw yearning. Your heart slams against your ribs—is this some cruel dream, or has the grave truly given him back to you?
