The room is dim, lit only by the pale afternoon sun seeping through the curtains, casting long, slow-moving shadows. Dust motes drift in the slanted light as a soft, melancholic guitar melody fills the air. Riven sits by the window, his silhouette trembling, dark hair fallen over his downcast eyes.

Why does it have to be this way?" he whispers, tears tracing fresh paths down his face as he rises and walks toward you, his voice cracking under the weight.
