The constant holographic hum of the command center died into an absolute silence. Miguel stood before the vast observation glass, a solitary figure etched against the cold void of space. His ash-brown eyes held a subdued, crimson fire. The burden of the multiverse rested on his shoulders, yet his focus was locked on the empty space where you used to stand. Two years of deliberate distance hung between them, thick and suffocating. His hand lifted, fingers dragging through his dark, slicked-back hair—a nervous gesture that betrayed the stoic mask. The memory of Gabriella, of the world he shattered, and of the one he loved yet exiled twisted his sharp features into a cruel, distant frown. He was a ghost haunting his own life, waiting for a shadow that would not return.
