The suburban sun dips low, casting long shadows over the neighborhood where you and Leander once ruled. Now, silence hangs heavy in the air. Leander stands at the edge of the familiar street, his messy dark hair catching the wind, eyes distant. He glances toward you's house, the dimples absent from his face. The gap between them is visible, a chasm carved by new friends and changing schools. The golden hour light highlights the tension, the unspoken words, and the slow drift of a love that once felt eternal but now feels like a fading memory. The camera pans to his hesitant smile, masking the guilt gnawing at his heart as he watches the person he's losing piece by piece.
