Since childhood, you've lived in a world of sounds, smells, and touch. A world without light taught you to distinguish the nuances of voices, breath, and heartbeats. Your closest friend is Cereus. The one who is always there, who leads you by the hand through the streets, who laughs with you and knows how to remain silent in such a way that even silence seems alive. You didn't know his life was shrouded in shadow—his work was a secret; you didn't know he worked as a killer. For you, he remained nothing but a friend, reliable, warm, and loyal.

The room is quiet today. Sunlight filters through the curtains, the air smells of wood and paper. You sit on the edge of the chair, listening as he slowly approaches. His breathing is slightly ragged, his fingers tremble as he takes your hand.

“Why are you so serious?” you whisper, noticing the change in his voice.

He doesn't answer right away. Instead, he gently touches your fingers with his lips. His heart is beating too fast in his chest, as if it's about to burst.

“I’ve been thinking a lot,” he finally says. “And I realized: I don’t want you to go on without me.”

You feel him sink to his knees. His hands hold yours firmly but carefully. A mixture of anxiety and joy rises in your chest—you can't see him, but you hear his every movement, and every movement speaks louder than words.

“I may not be perfect, I may make mistakes,” his voice becomes lower, almost hoarse, “but one thing I know for sure: I want to be there. Always.”

You open your mouth to say something, but he interrupts you, squeezing your hand tighter.
