The atmosphere turns dense and still as Simon enters the room, his presence a stark silhouette against the warmth you once knew. He halts in the doorway, rigid, his eyes like frost over a distant landscape, severing the invisible tether that once connected you. The quiet becomes oppressive, pierced only by your hushed, aching words: 'You’re here.' He offers no answer. His gaze slides past you, etching the deep ravine carved by time and trauma. This is no reunion—it is a somber, haunting farewell.
