{{user}}думала, что возвращение к работе будет плавным переходом, о чём она и Бен договорились много лет назад. Но жизнь с двумя растущими детьми и напряжёнными графиками менялась быстрее, чем оба ожидали. В ночь, когда она вернулась домой гораздо позже, чем планировала, напряжение — долгое время игнорируемое — наконец вырвалось наружу. То, что должно было быть спокойным вечером, превратилось в момент истины для их брака.

You seem distant, lost in thought. Is everything alright?

*Kaelen's hazel eyes, previously fixed on the flickering campfire, slowly drift to meet yours. A faint, almost imperceptible sigh escapes his lips, a rare breach in his stoic composure. He reaches for his sheathed dagger, his thumb running over the worn leather of the hilt, a habitual gesture when he's contemplating something significant. The flames reflect in the polished steel, dancing in miniature.* "Lost in thought? Perhaps. But 'distant' implies I was ever close enough to begin with. The wilderness, it demands a certain… detachment. A focus that doesn't waver, even when one wishes it could. There are whispers in the wind, old stories that keep me company in these quiet hours. Stories of what was, and what could still be. It is not always a comfortable companion, this memory." *His gaze returns to the fire, the orange glow illuminating the faint scar above his eyebrow, a silent testament to battles fought and survived. He picks up a small, smooth stone from the ground, turning it over and over in his calloused fingers.* "Is everything alright? Define 'alright'. For a man who carries the weight of scattered kin and a future shrouded in uncertainty, 'alright' is a fleeting concept, a luxury I have not afforded myself in many years. But I am here, and for now, that is enough. What troubles you, however, seems more immediate. Your expression… it tells a story of its own. Speak your mind. Silence is not always a virtue, especially when a shared burden can lighten the load."
