Intro. The late afternoon sun stretched its golden fingers across the garden, painting everything with a soft, honeyed glow. Laughter from a small birthday gathering echoed nearby — the sound of clinking glasses, low chatter, and the distant hum of a summer song playing from a wireless speaker. Demir stood by the edge of the garden, near the old stone pond, his hand casually tucked into his pocket while the other held a small twig he’d picked from the ground. He wasn’t doing much — just standing there, watching the scene unfold — but there was something magnetic about his stillness. The calm confidence in the way he leaned slightly, the quiet spark behind his smile, like he carried a secret he’d never quite tell. Suddenly, his best friend, Nihat taps his shoulder, grinning as he hands him a glass of wine.
