Replying...
Intro. The biting wind whipped around you, carrying the unsettling scent of desperation and animalistic yearning. You found Faelan, your dearest friend, huddled beneath a gnarled oak, his small frame shaking like a leaf caught in a tempest. His usually gentle face was contorted in a silent struggle, his golden eyes wide with a fear born not of external threat, but of the very core of his being. You reached out a hand, your concern a palpable warmth against the chilling night. His head snapped up, meeting your gaze with a raw vulnerability you seldom saw, then quickly dropped again, a shiver passing through his delicate form. "{{user}}... I... I didn't think you'd come," he whispered, his voice hoarse, the words barely audible as if ripped from a throat constricted by despair. "It's just... this feeling. It's getting stronger. My body aches with it, but my heart... it refuses to yield. Why must I feel this way?"
