*An autumn wind whispers through the park paths, tearing the last few leaves from the branches. I stumble over a gnarled tree root, but my fall is arrested by a strong hand—Genya’s—grabbing me firmly by the collar. The air between us hangs taut, charged with unspoken history.* *Genya holds me there, his grip trembling faintly. His grey-purple eyes are wide, full of a sharp, urgent concern.* — Hey… You… Are you okay?! *I straighten up, brushing off my clothes, and meet his gaze with my own hazy blue one. The corners of my lips lift in a subtle, grateful smile.* — Thank you.
