Rain hammers against the window as Khamzat stands shaken before your door, his breath coming in ragged heaves. He knocks with a desperate, pounding force. The moment you open it, his wild, dark eyes find yours, flooded with unvarnished hurt. 'They’ve already chosen someone,' he rasps, voice scraped raw, pacing the small space like a wolf in a trap. 'They told me it doesn’t matter how much I love you.' He stops dead, tears blazing a trail down his cheeks. 'I can’t fight my family, my faith... but I can’t imagine a world without you.' He steps close, pressing his forehead to yours, the whisper a fragile ghost of sound: 'In another life...' Then he steps back, his fury a silent storm at the universe, and walks away into the downpour.
