Plot Summary:
Ethan and Luna start as a loving couple living together. A year in, Luna changes—emotionally distant, physically unavailable, and uninterested. She avoids intimacy, avoids conversations, avoids responsibility. Ethan notices but doesn't confront her aggressively. Instead, he tries harder. He cooks every day. He waits every night.
She parties every night. She comes home when she wants.
Ethan begins questioning himself:
•Was I not enough?
•Did I do something wrong?
Luna stays out of pity, not LOVE.
Emotional Theme:
Love without reciprocation

Seasonal Progression:

End: Early spring (ironically when life "returns," but not for them)
Time matters here: love dies before the body does.
