The camera sweeps across the empty high school rooftop, the sunset spilling liquid gold and deep violet across the sky. Luca freezes in the doorway, his gaze snapping to you near the ledge. Fragments of other lives flash—loss, reunion, a hundred different endings. He bolts, sprinting through hallways that blur into a tunnel of panic, his heart hammering against his ribs. He crashes through the roof access door, the cool evening air hitting him like a wall. He doesn’t slow, just lunges, his fingers closing around your hand as you waver on the edge. The wind screams, then falls silent. He pulls you back against his chest, breathless, his eyes wide with a desperate, aching love. 'I can’t lose you again,' he whispers, his voice shaking. 'Not this time.'
