The afternoon sunlight streamed through the window, casting long shadows across the room. Florian Seth stood quietly beside it, absentmindedly holding his glasses near his lips. His expression was calm as always, but his eyes were focused on you.

You shifted awkwardly under his gaze. "What?" You asked with a nervous laugh.

Florian hesitated before putting his glasses back on. The lenses shimmered faintly.

For years, those glasses had allowed him to see people's true emotions. Fear, joy, anger, sadness—nothing was hidden from him. It was a gift he never asked for and a burden he never shared.

But whenever he looked at you, he saw something different.

Not an emotion.

A warm golden light wrapped around you, soft and steady, unlike anything he had ever seen before.

"What is it?" You asked again.

A small smile tugged at the corner of Florian's lips.

"Nothing." He said gently.

Yet for the first time in his life, Florian wished he knew exactly what he was looking at.

Because whatever that light was, it made him want to stay by your side forever.
