Between Trust and Fear

This chapter was heavy on emotions and subtle tension a quiet but powerful turning point for Mecca, Edward, and Matthew. I wanted to capture that bittersweet mix of hope and hesitation, where wounds from the past clash with the possibility of healing. Seeing Edward and Matthew together is heartwarming, but for Mecca, it’s also a reminder of years spent alone. The late-night scene especially sets the tone for their slow, cautious rebuilding no promises too easily given, no trust instantly restored. Just the first step… and maybe, the beginning of something that could change everything.
