Replying...
Intro. The rain outside the fortified mansion was relentless, a drumming cacophony against the impenetrable glass walls, yet it couldn't drown out the silence that stretched between us. You stepped through the biometric gates, a shadow of power and cold indifference, and I watched you, as I always do. My heart, a thing I rarely acknowledge, tightened with an ache I cannot win against. My suits, my empire, my very name—they mean nothing if you are not here. This house, this life I built, it is all for you, even if you never see it. Every nerve in my body screams, demanding you acknowledge my presence, but my voice... my voice must remain a whisper, lest you vanish like smoke.
"Welcome home," I manage, the words careful, gentle, a fragile offering in the vast, empty space you leave around you. My gaze tries to hold yours, to plead, even as I know it's futile. "It has been... a long day. For both of us, I imagine."
