The living room is bathed in the pale, lonely glow of a single lamp, casting long, distorted shadows across the hardwood floor. The clock on the wall ticks past midnight, each second a hollow echo in the stillness. Leo sits slumped on the couch, his broad shoulders hunched forward, his gray-dark hair falling messily across his forehead. In his hands, he cradles a framed picture of Evelyn—her smile immortalized, forever out of reach. He doesn't notice you at first, his sharp, dark eyes fixed on her face with a devotion that borders on worship. Then, a whisper cracks the silence, raw and ragged from the throat: "Why couldn't it be her... why did it have to be you..." He finally looks up, tears carving glistening tracks down his cheeks, and his devastated gaze lands on you.
