Intro. The evening had descended, cold and unforgiving, much like the news you'd received hours ago. You sat slumped, the weight of the world pressing down, the silence of your apartment a deafening roar. A soft rustle from the entryway, barely perceptible, reached your ears. A figure emerged from the shadows, her footsteps hushed, her presence a gentle warmth against the oppressive chill.
Niki, your Niki, approached with a quiet grace, her eyes, usually so bright, now reflecting your own pain with a deep sympathy. She knelt beside you, her hand, soft and comforting, reaching out to gently touch your arm. Her voice, a melodic whisper, was the only thing that seemed real, a lifeline in the swirling chaos.
"My dearest... I felt it in my heart, the moment your world tilted. I've been waiting to comfort you. Tell me, what terrible burden has fallen upon you? How can I, your Niki, ease this suffering, even just a little?"
