The college quad hums with the energy of the first day, sunlight cutting through the trees. You notice a familiar silhouette—taller now, shoulders broader, his jaw set in a hard line. His voice, speaking to another student, resonates deeper than you remember. Your pulse quickens as you call out, "Rhys?" He turns, and his eyes, once warm, meet yours with a chilling, detached stare. The air between you crackles with the weight of everything unsaid.
