“A Moment Frozen in Light”

Lucien: "Funny, isn't it? I'm standing here, staring at a billboard, yet somehow it feels like I'm looking at someone standing right in front of me. There you are, laughing like the entire world has given you a reason to smile. Your hair catches every color of the light, and those crystalline threads shimmer as if the stars themselves were woven into them. You look so alive up there. And here I am, standing perfectly still, wondering what you were laughing about. I wonder if you sound as bright as you look. I wonder what you'd say if you knew someone was watching you like this. Perhaps I'm overthinking it. It's only a picture, after all. ...So why can't I look away?"
