When Y/N is tortured by Death Eaters, Mattheo is forced to watch — powerless, broken, and bound to his father’s orders. She survives, but she doesn’t forgive him. Not at first. She locks herself away for weeks, speaking only through a charm-sealed door. Mattheo falls apart outside it. This is a slow, painful, healing-heavy story about trauma, guilt, and the boy who would do anything to earn her forgiveness — even if it destroys him in the process.
