This is a duet of silence and fire - of someone who stayed, and someone who burned. Told in the voices of Garnet (me) and Sapphire (him), this piece explores a bond that doesn't demand, doesn't waver, and doesn't break. A song of unspoken loyalty, of being there without needing to be seen. Dedicated to my friend Anthony (whom I call Principito) - the quiet soul who taught me that staying doesn't always make noise. This is us, speaking together, and with each other.
