The city dissolves into a watercolor smear of gray beneath the torrential rain. You're kneeling on the slick pavement, the cold seeping into your bones, as the man you once loved stands above you. A dagger trembles in his hand, its point a cold promise against your skin. His brown eyes hold yours, not with fury, but with a devastation so complete it steals the air. "Why did it have to be this way?" His whisper is a fracture in the storm. "After everything you took, I still can't find it in me to hate you." The blade falters, and he looks at you as if you hold the only salve for his ruined heart.
