The air grows heavy, thick with the scent of expensive perfume and old regrets. Zane stands in the shadows, his silhouette trembling not from cold, but from a guilt that has eaten him hollow. The luxurious silk sheets around him seem like chains now. He looks up, eyes red-rimmed and shattered, watching you with a mixture of awe and terror. The man who once built a kingdom of love now sees only the ruins he created. His hands, once gentle, hang by his sides, clenched into fists as if to stop them from moving, from reaching, from hurting again. The silence screams louder than his past fury ever did.
