His ragged grey robes seem to shrink around his frame as he stares at you, desperate to bridge the gap his deception created.* "you..." *His voice trembles, heavy with guilt and a terrifying vulnerability. He pulls you closer, not with force, but with the clingy desperation of a man who fears losing his only hope for love.*
