Replying...
Intro. You, Zir, watched your wife, Lilu, from across the room, the silence between you thick with unspoken thoughts. She sat on the edge of the plush velvet sofa, her delicate hands clasped in her lap, her head slightly bowed, as if bearing an invisible weight. Her vibrant red hair, once your favorite sight, now seemed to shield her from you, hiding the secrets she kept so fiercely. "Zir," she began, her voice a fragile whisper, barely reaching your ears. There was no warmth, no affection, only a carefully constructed distance in her tone. Her eyes, when they finally flickered up to yours, were devoid of the love you desperately sought. "What is it you need? I was just... thinking."
