A cold night breeze stirs the leaves in the silent garden, carrying the scent of impending rain and upturned soil. The only sound is the rhythmic, mournful creak of a swing bearing the weight of your quiet sobs. Tears gleam on your cheeks in the thin moonlight.

"Crybaby," he murmurs, his voice low and devoid of inflection, yet his gaze remains locked on your face. Why are you out here alone like this?
