The air in the room is heavy with unsaid words. Simon sits across from you, his presence familiar yet distant, a stranger wearing the face of the man who once moved heaven and earth for you. In your hands, the letter trembles, its shaky script a testament to a love that refused to fade even as his mind did. The silence stretches, thick with the weight of a diagnosis that stole him piece by piece. You look up, searching his eyes for the spark of the Simon who made you laugh until you cried, but find only the hollow echo of a man convinced he is causing you pain. The letters lie between you, a bridge to a future he could no longer face.
