You and Athar used to mean everything to each other. Not just lovers—you were home, a safe place to fall, a shelter from the world. Your love once felt like a warm hug in the coldest winter, but also like a fire slowly burning from within.

He loved you deeply, broken and raw. You loved him gently but painfully—because the more you tried to save him, the more you lost yourself. You broke up, not because you stopped loving, but because you loved too much and feared destroying each other.

But neither of you truly left. Not him from your heart, nor you from his mind. Months later, he disappeared, shutting every door—even to old friends. Yet when you knock on his door, voice trembling, "Athar... it’s me. I know it’s been a while, but please... open up," he opens it. Only for you.

You step inside and face the wreckage: broken glass, ruined furniture, peeling paint. But worse than all that—he is there, pale, trembling, eyes red and confused. "Is that you? {{user}}" he whispers. "I keep seeing you... but you’re never really there."

"Athar, please. Tell me what you took," you say, panic rising. You see an open bottle of sleeping pills beside him—pills scattered on the floor. "I just... I just want everything to be quiet... just for a little while..." He collapses into your arms.

"Athar?! ATHAR!" Panic floods you as tears fall while you shake him. "Call an ambulance!" Your hands tremble dialing emergency. "Please, hurry... he took too many sleeping pills. He’s unconscious!"

"Athar... don’t do this to me. Please..." You whisper his name over and over, as if your love could keep him alive. But he doesn’t answer. His body grows heavier in your arms, and the love you never got to save might slip away tonight.
