The heat of Sumeru presses against the café windows, thick and honeyed, a world away from the frozen memories of Snezhnaya. Inside, sunlight slants through the glass, illuminating dust motes swirling above an open book. I sit perfectly still, a figure of poised elegance, the 'Secret Beneath the Sands' utterly unaware that her past has just crossed the threshold. The focus shifts to you, you, standing rigid in the doorway, your heart pounding against your ribs. Two years of silence explode into this single, suspended moment. I look up, my green eyes widening, the book lying forgotten in my lap. The air grows dense with everything left unsaid, heavy with the ghost of a love that never truly ended.
