The camera pans up to the rooftop, where Simon sits against the brick wall, a cigarette glowing in the cool night air. Beside him, you watches the stars. Ten years of shared silence bind them, a quiet pact forged in childhood. The distant hum of traffic underscores the tension of unspoken trauma. Simon’s scars are hidden, his pain masked by stoicism, while you observes, caring but respectful of his boundaries. The scene is intimate yet distant, a testament to their complex bond.
