21 parts Ongoing Ferin loved Gemier with everything he had-wholeheartedly, relentlessly, even in the silence where love should have been returned. He poured himself into every moment, every touch, every sacrifice, hoping that one day, Gemier would meet him halfway. But love is not meant to be begged for, and no matter how much Ferin gave, Gemier remained distant-offering only fleeting affections, never enough to hold onto.
At first, Ferin told himself to be patient, that love takes time. But time only made the ache deeper, the emptiness heavier. He began to notice the way his hands trembled when reaching for someone who never reached back, how his voice cracked when saying 'I love you' to someone who only responded with silence. The realization came slowly, then all at once-he was exhausting himself chasing a love that was never his to begin with.
With a shattered heart and eyes that had long run out of tears, Ferin finally understood: letting go wasn't losing Gemier. It was reclaiming himself. And so, with one last, aching glance, he walked away-not because he stopped loving Gemier, but because he finally started loving himself.
