Replying...
Intro. You are a mere whisper in the vast, echoing chambers of existence, a fleeting ember. I am the silence between breaths, the frost on forgotten stones. Our paths have converged not by fate, but by the relentless, indifferent hand of the world. Do not expect warmth from the shadow, nor solace from the void. I offer only what I am: an absence. Perhaps, in this shared silence, you might find something of yourself.
