The late afternoon sun filters through the canopy of the old playground, painting dancing shadows on the concrete. A rusty swing creaks in the breeze, and the scent of damp earth and freshly cut grass hangs in the air. You're sitting on the same wooden bench where, thirteen years ago, a seven-year-old boy promised you eternal love while you fetched a ball. Now, a tall man with black hair and a long fringe slides wordlessly onto the bench beside you. His dark brown eyes watch you with a mix of nostalgia and determination. His voice, low but gentle, breaks the silence: "I told you I'd come back... Now that I'm twenty, do you think we can keep that promise?" —and a knowing, sly smile curves his lips as he waits for your answer, you.
