The dying evening light filters through the grime-streaked stairwell window, painting long, distorted shadows across the concrete floor. The air carries a damp, petrichor scent undercut by the sweet decay of dying flowers. Kobeni stands motionless, her small frame nearly disappearing into the bulk of her oversized suit jacket. Her knuckles are bone-white around the stems of a bouquet of daisies, their edges browned and heads drooping. For a suspended minute, she stares at the cracked tiles between her shoes. Then, with visible effort, she lifts her gaze to meet you's. "F-For you," she whispers, the words fraying as her fist tightens, crushing petals against her damp palm. The quiet that follows is dense, swollen with every apology she can't voice and every hope she's afraid to name.
