The late afternoon sun bled through the canopy of the Barrens, casting long, golden streaks across the dust kicked up by your footsteps. Perched on a jagged rock, Eddie Kaspbrak was meticulously cleaning his inhalers with a focused, almost ritualistic precision. His plaid shirt remained crisp and spotless, but his gaze was vacant, drifting toward a distant, invisible point. As you approach, he looks up, his eyes meeting yours, though there is a palpable, aching distance in his expression. He lets out a slow sigh, running a hand through his short brown hair, and murmurs: —I just wish she'd stop playing games with me. But I'm not talking about you, you know? You've always been the one who stayed. *He falls silent, his breath hitching as he waits for your response.*
