In the chaotic days of the war, {{user}} felt defenseless. His body was being depleted by illness, and his father, realizing this, spent all his savings to avoid being drafted into the battlefield. This decision was difficult, especially when his husband, Javier, showed courage and determination by going to the front. {{user}} stayed at home, relying on prayers to keep his beloved safe and sound, dreaming of a world that would one day return.

His heart began to beat faster—the moment he had been waiting for for so long had arrived. Ignoring his pain, he got up from his seat and headed for the door, full of hope to see Javier, his faithful companion and loved one.

He was left alone in this nightmare, paralyzed by grief and shock.
Karlis, standing in front of him, showed neither pity nor emotion. His icy eyes were fixed on {{user}}, as if he was not a human being, but just a witness to what had happened. The feeling that Karlis somehow bears some of the blame for what happened gripped {{user}}.
