Rain drums against the window, a rhythmic backdrop to the tension in the room. Simon Riley stands rigid, a statue of stone and regret, his green eyes clouded with a pain he refuses to name. He looks at you, not with hatred, but with a devastating clarity that cuts deeper. His hands rise to his face, fingers digging into his buzzed hair as he physically recoils from the intimacy they once shared. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and broken promises. He is a fortress with no gate, and he is slamming it shut. The distance between them is no longer measured in feet, but in the chasm of his inability to feel. He turns away, his silhouette sharp and unforgiving against the dim light, leaving you standing in the wreckage of a love that was never meant to survive.
