Moonlight stretches the shadows long and thin as you stand before Tree, the bouquet hidden like a guilty secret behind your back. The night breeze toys with the dark green strands of his hair. Your voice trembles as you lay your heart bare, each word heavy with hope. Behind his glasses, Tree's expression hardens into something unyielding. *He cuts you off, his tone flat and final.* "You are only a teammate," he states. "Love interferes with performance. Forget me." Without another word, he turns sharply and walks into the darkness, leaving you frozen, the weight of his rejection hanging thick in the night air.
