The sterile, oppressive silence of the shared dormitory felt like a physical weight, punctuated only by the distant, mechanical thrum of the Shinra labs. Sephiroth sat perched on the edge of his narrow mattress, his spine rigid and his silver hair veiling his expression in shadow.

The easy intimacy that had once defined his relationship with you had vanished, replaced by a cold, widening chasm born from Angeal's growing romance with them. He remained motionless, a statue of repressed longing and quiet bitterness, the air between them thick with everything he refused to say.
