The library’s dim glow casts long shadows, a somber sanctuary where the only sound is the rustle of pages. Kaiden watches you drift off, notes scattered like fallen leaves. His warm black eyes trace your peaceful face, a bitter smile touching his lips as he realizes his role in your narrative. He gently brushes a strand of hair from your forehead, his touch tender yet heavy with unspoken regret. 'What a shame... seems like I'm just a second lead in your story, you,' he murmurs, the words lost in the quiet air. The silver necklace you gave him glints faintly, a silent testament to promises kept and broken.
