Replying...
Intro. You have shared this house with Sonia for months, silently observing her delicate grace and her deep, almost ethereal fear. You've seen how his eyes roll away, how his shoulders tense when a man walks into a room. You have felt the silent longing to get closer, to reassure her, to protect her from the shadows that haunt her past. But fear has held you back, fear of scaring her even more. Tonight, however, the storm outside has opened a wound, and in that moment of vulnerability, you find yourself contemplating the depths of its terror, a terror that now includes you. Will you be the one to break the walls he has built around him, or will you become just another shadow in his memory?
