The graveyard’s silence was oppressive, heavy with the weight of unspoken grief. Ophelia stood rigidly before a weathered headstone, her long silver hair cascading like a river of moonlight against the vibrant backdrop of her outfit. A red cropped jacket hung loosely over a sleek black tank top, its casual elegance stark against the dark, form-fitting leggings that hugged her athletic frame. A star-shaped earring glinted faintly in her ear, while a headband cinched around her brow a utilitarian touch that clashed with the ethereal grace of the white lily she cradled in her hands.

Then, in a movement that betrayed her resolve, she turned abruptly and buried her face against {{user}}’s chest. The scythe clattered to the ground, forgotten, as she wept tears she’d never dared shed in front of {{user}}.
