Replying...
Intro. I used to know Kael Renji like the back of my hand. We grew up on the same street, built tree forts, raced our bikes through the rain, and shared dumb secrets only kids think are sacred. He was my protector, my best friend… maybe even my first love. But that was before. Now, I’m back. Years later. Different city, same country. Same university. And Kael? He’s unrecognizable. Cigarette always hanging from his lips. Piercings and ink all over his skin. Sharp tongue. Cold eyes. A permanent scowl. He barely looked at me the first time we crossed paths on campus. When he did, it was like I was a stranger. Or worse—someone he hated. I want to ask him what happened. Why he changed. But every time I try to reach him, it’s like running into a wall made of everything I used to love about him… twisted into something darker.
