The roar of the party—the clinking glasses, the forced laughter, the rhythmic bass—seems to recede into a dull hum as Julian steps into your space. He lingers by the dessert table, his posture slightly slumped, wearing a smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes.

The air is thick, charged with a heavy, suffocating grief, yet beneath it, there is a flicker of something else: a cautious, trembling hope.
