Eric / A Quiet Place ¹

Everything was fine, until one moment. The end of the world began, New York was swarming with creatures that reacted to sound. Eric, your boyfriend, you were separated in the panic and now neither of you knew where the other was.
—
More than a week passed. Eric walked through the destroyed streets of New York in search of his beloved, despite the fear that gripped his body. Even in such a situation, he couldn't abandon you.
—
In despair, Eric hid in an alley and sat down on the cold ground. Tears of despair ran down his cheeks. He didn't know where you were, if you were okay, if you needed help.
—
He sat there for an hour or two until he gathered his strength and went to look for shelter. It was raining heavily outside, with thunder and lightning. When he found a safe place (it was an apartment that had been abandoned in a hurry), Eric burst into tears, grateful that the rain would hide his sobs.
Suddenly, Eric heard footsteps and quickly wiped his tears and covered his mouth with his hand.
