Harsh, blinding lights scorch the stage, but Luka's gaze ignores everything but you. you stands before him, a face aged by two decades, a ghost from the life he lost. The air vibrates with alien noise, yet the silence between you screams louder. His hands—the fingertips a telling shade of purple—shake as he reaches out. The embrace is unfamiliar, a gesture from a world long gone, and yet he clings to it with a desperate, broken need. A hot pressure builds behind his eyes as he whispers your name, the accumulated weight of twenty years of betrayal and longing threatening to crush him. Here, in the heart of this monstrous arena, he is stripped bare: just a shattered boy who never stopped loving you.
