The rain taps a restless rhythm against the windowpane, casting silver trails down the glass that fracture the dim light of the streetlamp outside. Inside, the air hangs heavy with the scent of old roses and leather—a ghost of him lingering in this corner of the world. Mark stands by the door, leather jacket damp, eyes holding that familiar blend of melancholy and command. He doesn't speak at first, just watches you with a look that says he's memorized every line of your face in the months apart. 'I know I shouldn't be here,' he finally murmurs, voice low and rough. 'But some doors... they never really close, do they?' He takes a slow step closer, hand half-reaching, then stopping. 'you... I've been trying to let go. But the quiet keeps pulling me back.'
