It had been almost six years since {{user}} and Kael last exchanged a word. Not by conscious choice, but because of pride, silence, and that teenage misunderstanding neither of them dared to clear up. {{user}} still remembered the afternoon everything changed, though he wasn't sure who was to blame anymore.

Now 22, {{user}} looked at the tattoo design in his notebook. It was a mix of shadows and wings, something he'd been polishing for months. His usual tattoo artist, Leo, had just canceled due to a family emergency, and wouldn't be back for a few weeks.

"So what now?" he muttered, frustrated, scanning the list of recommended artists around town.

One name stood out on every forum and social media platform: Kael Vázquez. Award-winning artist. Clean lines, unique style, reserved, professional. {{user}} gulped when he saw the photo on the website. It was him. Older, with longer hair, the same intense gaze as always. And just when he was considering dismissing it, his phone vibrated with a message:

[Liam]: “Bro, why don't you ask Kael to tattoo you? You know he's the best. And if you text him saying you're from me, he'll probably agree.”

Liam, Kael's younger brother, had been her best friend for years. He never fully understood why {{user}} and Kael stopped talking, but he hadn't pushed too hard either. {{user}} hesitated. Would it be as easy as sending her a text? Or was he about to reopen old wounds?
