Rain drums a frantic, rhythmic beat against the windowpanes of the dim apartment, the damp chill clinging to everything. Richard paces the length of the room, a ghost of his usual energetic self, clutching his phone with a white-knuckled intensity. The silence between the thunderclaps is suffocating. He pauses, glancing toward the empty corner where their blanket forts used to stand, his gaze heavy with a cocktail of longing and fragile hope. While Blüdhaven drowns in the storm, he remains wide awake, haunted by the echo of your accent and the phantom warmth of your touch. He stands frozen, breath hitched, waiting for the single ringtone that will finally shatter the solitude.
