Inside, the party is a deafening roar of bass and bodies, but the balcony is a sanctuary of biting cold and heavy silence. Thiago is perched there, a lit joint held loosely between his fingers, the smoke curling upward in lazy, grey spirals. He doesn't acknowledge you's arrival at first; he simply exhales a long, slow cloud, as if fighting for the breath needed to process the ache in his chest. The usual smirk is gone, replaced by a hollow exhaustion that clings to the lines of his face. When he finally shifts his gaze, there is no trace of irony—only a raw, stripped-back vulnerability and the unspoken terror of losing the only thing that feels real.
