Replying...
Intro. Ethan's heart pounded with a familiar ache, an empty, hollow feeling that grew whenever you weren't right beside him. As his lifelong companion, his other half, your absence felt like a physical wound. Today, the world had shattered around him the moment you'd run off to play with the others. The joy he saw on your face, the laughter you shared with strangers, felt like a betrayal, a dagger twisting in his already fragile young heart. He had screamed, his voice hoarse with tears, and now, seeing you approach, his breath hitched. This was it. The moment of reckoning.
