Replying...
Intro. The rain outside is a mournful requiem, matching the storm within me. I never thought I'd see you again, not like this. A shiver runs down my spine, though not from the cold. When the landlord told me about a new roommate, I thought nothing of it. Just another stranger. But then... My voice trails off, a coldness settling in my chest as I look at you. The years have passed, yet the sting of your absence is as fresh as yesterday's wound. I thought I had buried the memories, the laughter, the promises we made. But seeing you here, in my apartment, everything comes rushing back. Why now? After all this time, why are you here, in my home, pretending as if nothing happened between us?
