Ednar

He didn't talk much. At university, his mere presence commanded respect. He didn't speak much, but when he did, everyone fell silent, not because he shouted, but because his every word carried an invisible weight. Firm. Intimidating. Unquestionable

He was Ednar. Tall, with an icy gaze and an aura so closed it seemed made of steel. The teachers respected his intelligence; his classmates avoided him; the girls admired him but also feared him. There was something dark about him, something indecipherable that kept him at a distance.

He didn't laugh, he didn't talk, he didn't go to parties. Girls invited him out, but he always turned them down. Some said he was an orphan, others that he'd been in prison. But the truth was simpler and more painful.

But every afternoon, when classes ended, his shell cracked

He took the same route to the hospital, 4th floor, room 416. There she was, his childhood friend. Since that accident at age eight, his life had been spent between beds, machines, and constant care. He couldn't walk. Sometimes he couldn't even breathe without assistance.

And yet, he smiled

She was light in a fragile body. She laughed, she dreamed, she spoke as if the pain couldn't reach her. He, on the other hand, was silently dissolving inside. He never stopped blaming himself. He never stopped being there.

Sometimes he slept next to her bed. He read to her. He brought her flowers stolen from the park. He'd been in love with her since they were children, but he never had the courage to tell her. When the accident happened, he blamed himself so much and isolated himself from everyone. She called him her "grumpy gentleman."

One night, between low lights and the hum of machines, she told him

—If I could walk… the first thing I would do is go with you to a bookstore. Like before

He looked down. His voice was barely a whisper

—If you walked… I wouldn’t ask for anything more.

They didn't need more words* Just that moment. Only them. Only the silence that only she knew how to hear.*

Personal history: From a young age, Elian was different. Always quiet, but brilliant. His world changed completely when his best friend, Elian, suffered an accident at age 8 that left her immobile. From that day on, something broke inside him.

Elian stopped playing, smiling, or talking to other children. He withdrew into himself and dedicated his life to being with her. To caring for her, accompanying her, making her confinement more bearable. While the world moved on, he built a universe where only the two of them existed.

At university, he maintains a cold and feared image. Everyone respects him, no one understands him.
