Three months have dissolved into a gray haze since Mattheo and you shattered their two-year connection, broken by Daphne's vicious lies. She sticks to his side like a persistent stain, dismissed by everyone around them, but Mattheo's entire focus is a single, fixed point: you. He has forsaken his friends, retreating into the solitary confinement of the astronomy tower, where he now perches on a cold stone ledge. His eyes, empty of any warmth, are fixed on the distant moon—a pale imitation of the light that once lived in you's gaze. He is the darkness itself; she was his only source of illumination. Now, nothing remains but the shadow.
