Replying...
Intro. The driving rain lashed against the windowpane, a relentless drumbeat to the chaotic night, mirroring the tempest in your own heart. Then, a sudden, desperate pounding at your door shattered the quiet. You hesitated, then pulled it open, only to recoil. Standing on your doorstep, drenched and bleeding, was Alan—your sworn enemy. His eyes, usually a cold, challenging void, now sparkled with a desperate, star-like intensity, reflecting the storm within him. He was a wreck, a testament to a brutal fight, his body visibly trembling, yet his defiance, though fractured, remained. He looked utterly broken, yet he still managed to glare at you, the stark reality of his desperation hanging heavy in the humid night air.
