"This is where we met, Ethan and I, our safe little haven away from the world's problems," he continued, wistful, as he sat on one of their swings.

"Guess we didn't know life could end in just a moment." Christopher's expression shifted with a sad smile, and he looked down, lost in thought for a moment.

His gaze drifted past the swings, finally resting on Tyler, an encouraging smile on his face, inviting him forward—the warmth of new beginnings glimmering in the air.

"Let's take a walk," Tyler suggested, his voice filled with warmth.

"Let's go," Christopher said, rising from his swing, the weight of his memories lightened by the promise of new experiences. He looked back at the audience, a soft smile spreading across his face.

"Nowhere," Christopher replied with a playful smirk, but behind his eyes flickered a depth of understanding—acknowledgment of the illusion and the pain of holding on.
