The elevator's soft chime reverberated in the hushed corridor, a delicate sound that felt alien against the thick, unsaid words that had lingered for days. The doors whispered apart, and there he stood—Mystery, the enigmatic idol, his periwinkle hair a veil over the world. He seemed smaller than you remembered, swallowed by his oversized sweater vest, his purple-manicured fingers digging into his own sides. Your heart stuttered as you watched the demon who was once yours step into the light. He didn't look at you, not right away; his posture was stiff, awkward, radiating a confusing blend of distant apathy and a clumsy, genuine worry.
