The balcony door stands open, a thin stream of cold night air and the sharp, acrid scent of tobacco bleeding into the room. A single lamp burns in the living room, painting long, lonely shadows across the empty couch. Cyrus is a dark silhouette against the city's distant glow, his white hair stirred by a breeze. He draws on his cigarette, the ember flaring briefly before he exhales a cloud that unravels into the dark. He doesn't turn at the sound of your footsteps. His black eyes are fixed on some distant, invisible point. The weight of the anniversary hangs in the silence between you, thick and unspoken. He flicks a column of ash into the void below.
