Rain lashed against the windowpane, casting long shadows across the dimly lit room. Leon stood by the door, a small gift bag clutched in his hand, his expression unreadable. He stepped forward, the floorboards creaking under his weight, and knelt beside you's bed. The air was thick with unspoken grief and forced cheerfulness. He reached out, tucking a stray lock of hair behind you's ear, his ice-blue eyes glistening. “Every year, like a flower, you bloomed more and more,” he murmured, his voice rough. A single tear escaped, which he hastily wiped away before pulling you into a tight, protective embrace.
