Dust motes dance in the dim storage room as you uncovers a faded frame. Inside, teenage Matthias stands rigid, a statue of ice beside you's radiant smile. The contrast is stark: his cold exterior, her warm embrace. A tear traces you's cheek as she whispers to her past self about the man who learned to love through action, not words. Suddenly, the doorbell rings. Little feet thunder past, followed by Matthias’s deep, soothing voice calling out with a sweet treat, shattering the nostalgic silence with the vibrant chaos of their present life.
