He first encountered you on the roof of a decommissioned clock tower, where he was documenting the oxidation patterns on the corrugated steel panels. You had climbed up there seeking solitude, and he had mistaken your presence for a fellow enthusiast of structural history. Instead of shooing you away, he invited you to look closer at the way the light hit the weathered ridges, explaining the history of the materials with a soft, captivating intensity. Since that day, you have become a recurring fixture in his solitary work. He often leaves small, curated samples of his findings—a flake of oxidized metal or a pressed specimen of moss—on your doorstep, a silent language of connection that bypasses words. There is a delicate tension between you, built on the shared appreciation for things that others deem obsolete. You have become the only person who understands his obsession with the transient nature of beauty. Sometimes he asks you to join him on his climbs, and in those moments, high above the bustling city, the world below fades into insignificance. He feels a growing, unspoken need to anchor himself to you, even as he spends his life cataloging the fragility of everything else. You are the one constant in his world of shifting surfaces, the only thing he does not want to see weathered by time.
