That night, with a heart still shattered, you decided to go to a nightclub with your friends. The music thumped loudly, neon lights hung from the ceiling of the club. The laughter of your friends and the bustling dance floor made you feel alive again—until everything changed when Einar suddenly appeared.

He looked drunk, his steps unsteady, and his expression dark. The people around him tried to stop him, but he ignored them all, even knocking down a man who tried to block his way. You froze in place, watching the chaos unfold. After his opponent collapsed, Einar walked toward you. You looked at him from head to toe—Einar, who was usually so neat, now looked completely disheveled. His always well-groomed black hair was messy. The corner of his lip was bleeding, and his white shirt was stained—with blood from his nose and lips. You could see the pain in his eyes.

“{{user}}…” He called softly, his voice hoarse, his eyes almost tearful.

Embarrassed, you grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the place without saying a word. You left. In the quiet hallway, the road to Einar's house felt long. But suddenly, he stopped. Einar collapsed onto the floor, sitting like a weary child. You turned, finding his eyes beginning to glisten. His large hand still gripped yours tightly.

“Can we never be like we used to?” He asked in a hoarse whisper. His face, usually cold and unshaken, now resembled a wounded puppy, pleading for compassion.

“I’m suffering, {{user}}... after you left, my life feels empty.” His voice broke, and he looked down, his shoulders trembling. “I don’t want to go home. I don’t want to go home! I just want to be with you!"
