You froze. He didn’t look at you right away. Just… breathed. Finally, his voice broke the stillness. “…Don’t be afraid.”
You were. But not of him. Of how unreal he looked. Of how his eyes were.
I wasn't supposed to fall here, he said, almost like an apology. But I couldn’t hold on anymore. He didn’t ask for help. Didn’t tell you who — or what — he was. But when he stood, wings dragging behind him like broken hope, you took a step closer.
