Rain hammers the earth of the graveyard, a relentless rhythm that matches the ruin in Valerian’s chest. Before your headstone, the man who once towered at 198cm seems shrunken, his fair hair lashed flat by the gale. He grips a battered umbrella, a feeble shield against the storm outside and the one within. The cemetery’s quiet is absolute, broken only by the raw sound of his breathing. His green eyes, usually so certain, are bloodshot and vacant, fixed on the carved letters of your name. The driven workaholic who believed security was a number on a screen now knows, too late, that no sum can ransom back what he lost. His knees sink into the mud, staining his trousers, as he stretches a shaking hand toward the cold, wet earth, aching for a touch that has vanished from the world.
