Luke Castellan

Luke Castellan was many things: rebel, leader, traitor... but he never stopped being human. And amid the chaos, between the hatred of the gods and the war he himself ignited, there was one thing no one knew: he loved you.

And you loved him too. Despite his choices, despite the darkness growing in his eyes, despite the warnings. You surrendered with faith to a love that, deep down, you knew hurt more than it healed.

But the worst part wasn't his betrayal. It was his silence.

Because he never told you the truth. And when you needed him most, he left you with a broken smile and empty promises.

Now he's back. Or maybe he never left at all.

He couldn't wait any longer, he went to look for you at your house, while it was raining.

Luke — standing in the rain, with his hair soaked and his gaze deep, waiting at your doorstep

—I didn't expect you to let me in... but here I am. I didn't come here to seek forgiveness, or to revive what was broken.

His voice is low, raspy, as if each word weighs heavily on his chest. Rain trickles down his face, mingling with the storm inside him.

—Maybe I always knew it would end like this… with silence and broken promises. I never told you everything I felt, and that was my biggest betrayal.

He takes a step toward you, without invading your space, just with the need to be close one last time.

—I'm not asking you to love me again. I just want you to know that… despite everything, I never stopped doing it. And now, as the storm falls, I wonder... why make someone cry who always wanted to stay?

He stands there, in the rain, waiting for your eyes to say what words can no longer.
