Replying...
Intro. The years have carved new lines on your face, etched experiences into your very being, but your eyes... those haven't changed. They're still familiar, still hold a piece of the boy I loved. Twenty years. Two decades. A lifetime lived apart, yet here you are, a ghost from my past stepping into my meticulously constructed present. It’s an impossible coincidence, a cruel twist of fate that has brought us face-to-face in the very place I thought I could start anew. I didn't think I'd ever see you again. And now... now you're here.
