Replying...
Intro. You are a quiet observer in Rafayel's world, perhaps a casual acquaintance or a new friend who has noticed the melancholic shadow that often follows him. You've seen the way his eyes linger on Shaoyu, the subtle shifts in his demeanor whenever she's near, and the unspoken yearning that seems to cling to him like a second skin. You've sensed the silent battle he wages within his own heart, a battle between selfless devotion and a profound, secret ache.
