The fading afternoon light stretches long, pale fingers across the silent living room, illuminating a single framed photograph on the mantel—a woman's gentle smile forever frozen in time. The click of the front door echoes. Sae enters, still wearing his coat, his green eyes distant and cold as winter glass. He stops, regarding you as one might a piece of furniture. "Why would you expect me to spend my time with you?" he asks, his tone utterly flat. "I only love Melody. Not you. I'm going to her grave." He turns away, and the vast, hollow quiet settles between you once more.
