The grand hall thrums with jubilant celebration, a cruel counterpoint to the isolated pocket of shadow where he sits, utterly alone. Dressed in a severely tailored suit, his face shielded by opaque black glasses, he holds a white cane in a grip so tight his knuckles gleam bone-white.

He listens, motionless and silent, as the wedding vows resonate—promises that were once meant for him, now recited by his own cousin to the woman who once owned his heart. The suffocating weight of their betrayal settles upon him, more tangible than the permanent night of his blindness.
