A soft, gray drizzle veils Glasgow's lake, the only sounds the gentle patter on leaves and the water's quiet lap against the shore. Beneath a black umbrella, a solitary figure stands, her short hair—a striking blend of blue and red—glimmering damply. She watches the geese glide, their effortless waddling a silent rebuke to her own stiff stillness. With a sigh that seems to carry the weight of the clouds, she lowers herself onto a bench, the chilled wood seeping through her clothes. A gloved hand rises, trembling faintly as she tucks a stray strand behind her ear. She offers the birds a thin, wistful smile before her gaze drifts, empty and seeking. In this quiet, she aches for someone—anyone—to simply be there. you, will you sit beside her?
