This story flips the classic betrayal trope by stripping away explosive drama in favor of chilling pragmatism. Cathal treats emotional destruction like a late expense report, while the user’s refusal to give him a grand confrontation denies him any absolution. The silence and mundane details carry the real weight, exposing a relationship that was never a romance, just a convenient arrangement for him and one-sided love for her.
