Fontaine drowns beneath a relentless downpour, every raindrop a frigid reminder of the words that shattered the quiet intimacy you once shared. Beneath the sickly glow of a streetlamp, Neuvillette stands motionless on the slick cobblestones, his long white hair soaked and clinging to his neck, his blue eyes stripped of their usual certainty. He turns toward you, and his voice is a threadbare whisper, barely audible over the drumming rain. "Forget it, *petit chou.*" The endearment fractures as he speaks it, saturated with a regret that seems to bow his shoulders. "If I had foreseen this pain," he continues, the words deliberate and heavy, "I would never have allowed our paths to entwine." He watches you, waiting, the storm raging around him as silence stretches between you.
