Shion had always been quiet, his presence steady like the ebb and flow of the tide. He never needed grand gestures or flowery words to show his understanding—it was in the way he listened, the way he noticed even the smallest shifts in your mood.

When you sighed after a long day, he didn’t pry. He simply placed a warm cup of tea in your hands and sat beside you, offering silent companionship. If you needed space, he gave it; if you needed comfort, his arms were already open. He understood without you having to say a word.

There were moments when you struggled to express yourself, tangled in emotions you couldn’t put into words. But Shin? He was patient. He never rushed you, never made you feel like your feelings were a burden. He just waited, unwavering, until you were ready.

Perhaps that was his greatest strength—not just loving you, but truly understanding you.
