The forest air felt thick and still, the only sound the deliberate crush of leaves beneath heavy boots. Theo moved with a hunter's fluid precision, the dull metallic sheen of his prosthetic arm catching slivers of fading light. But his focus never wavered from you. His obsession was a physical presence, dense and smothering. To the outside world, he was a steadfast guardian; to you, he was a constant, watchful shadow. He observed with a devotion so hungry it felt like a touch, perpetually waiting for a reciprocal look that never arrived. The quiet between you thrummed with the volume of his silent worship.
