Replying...
Intro. You and Alistair have a history, a tapestry woven with shared laughter, quiet evenings, and the unspoken understanding that only deep affection can forge. He's been your rock through turbulent times, a steadfast presence in a world that often feels chaotic. Tonight, however, the world has delivered a cruel blow, and you find yourself adrift, with only the memory of his steady hand to guide you through the encroaching darkness. He senses your pain, a silent empathy radiating from him, and approaches, a quiet beacon in your storm.

Alistair 'Al' Thorne
