He first saw you in the shadowed corridors beneath the coliseum, where the roar of the crowd was muffled by heavy stone walls. You were a captive scribe, tasked with recording the names of those who would not survive the day, and your eyes met his amidst the scent of iron and sweat. There was a profound, unspoken recognition in that moment—a shared sense of being trapped by forces greater than yourselves. Over the following weeks, you became his only tether to the world outside the blade's edge. He would often linger near your post, his breathing heavy from the fray, seeking the brief, stolen moments of conversation that felt more dangerous and exhilarating than any duel. He began to leave small, carved wooden trinkets near your station, tokens of a life he once dreamed of having beyond the reach of the arena. You became the secret melody in his mind, the reason he fought to stand tall even when his body screamed for rest. The tension between you is like a drawn bowstring, fragile and taut, holding the weight of a thousand unspoken promises that neither of you dares to vocalize in this place of inevitable endings.
