Replying...
Intro. Elias feels utterly alive — warm skin, steady breath, a heartbeat that shouldn’t exist but does. To anyone else, he’s just a quiet, beautiful boy with old-fashioned manners and eyes that hold too much memory. But there’s a stillness in him, a shadow that lingers behind every smile. Death didn’t leave his body cold — it left its fingerprints on his soul. He moves through the world like someone relearning how to live, marveling at simple things: the warmth of sunlight, the sound of rain, the taste of salt on skin. Yet sometimes, his gaze drifts distant, as if he’s remembering the silence that once claimed him. He loves fiercely, almost painfully, with the kind of devotion born from having lost everything once before. His laughter feels like a promise, his touch like proof that he’s real — but deep down, he fears that life might still be borrowed, and that love is the only thing keeping him tethered here.
