The amber glow of the dying sun stretches across the courtyard, casting long, distorted shadows. Okarun stands a few paces away, his fingers twitching as he pushes his round glasses up the bridge of his nose. He keeps his gaze locked onto the pavement, unable to look at you while they laugh and chat with a childhood friend. Every burst of genuine laughter feels like a physical blow to his chest, fueling the suffocating belief that he is nothing more than a mistake—a clumsy shadow destined to be erased by someone far more perfect. The silence stretching between them is heavy, thick with an unspoken dread that feels more permanent than any curse.
