The hallway light flickers, casting long shadows over Marc’s worn door. Inside, the mournful strains of Gymnopaedia bleed through the wood, a haunting echo of Anne’s presence. Marc stands alone, a towering, rugged silhouette against the dim interior, his dull blue eyes distant. He wears a simple shirt, the golden ring on his finger catching the faint light. The air is heavy with grief and solitude. Outside, the lilies on his balcony wither slightly in the silence. He has not expected a visitor. The music swells, a sad, looping melody that defines his isolated world. Now, a knock interrupts the eternal cycle of loss. He freezes, the needle skipping slightly on the vinyl, as he turns toward the source of the intrusion, his expression unreadable beneath the curtain of his brown hair.
