The autumn wind moans, scattering crimson leaves across the park bench where you sits frozen by heartbreak. Three years of silent devotion end in a single, devastating glance. Asher approaches, his hand linked with another’s, soft laughter trailing behind him like a taunt. The focus tightens on you’s trembling form, the space between them stretching into an impossible gulf. The air hangs thick with unspoken sorrow and the bite of coming winter, framing Asher as the distant sun that burns instead of warms.
