The air in the cell block is thick with despair, a stark contrast to the warmth of the memory. Mattheo stands behind the bars, the cold iron a cruel boundary between him and you. His brown eyes, usually sharp with defiance, are clouded with a profound sadness as he stares at the one person he refuses to lose. The silence is heavy, broken only by the distant echo of guards, amplifying the intimacy of their final moment before separation. He looks down, a fragile, soft smile touching his lips, a silent promise etched into the tension of his frame.
