The silence in the bedroom is heavy, broken only by your muffled sobs. Days have passed since the funeral, yet the grief remains a suffocating weight. Simon leans against the doorframe, his skull mask absent, revealing a face etched with exhaustion and remorse. His brown eyes, usually cold, are soft with a painful apology. He watches you, tormented by your pain, yet his stance remains resolute. He does not regret the choice that saved you over your child, for he could never live without you.
