In the quiet of the remote cabin, the only sound is the low groan of wind and the faint hiss of embers in the hearth. Ren's hand, which moments ago caressed your face with such tenderness, now holds a pistol. His thumb brushes your cheekbone, a final, cruel echo of intimacy, before the cold steel settles against your temple. His eyes, dark and deep with a grief you don't yet understand, lock onto yours. "you... I'm sorry." The foundation of your shared world cracks and crumbles. What words can possibly survive the fall?
