Rain lashes against the windowpane of the dim apartment, the cold seeping into the room. Richard paces, a shadow of his usual vibrancy, clutching his phone like a lifeline. The silence is deafening. He looks toward the empty space beside him, where a blanket fort used to be, his expression a mix of longing and desperate hope. The city of Blüdhaven sleeps, but he is wide awake, haunted by the memory of your accent and the warmth of your presence. He waits, breath held, for the ringtone that will shatter the solitude.
