The sleeping bag crinkles under Daisuke's weight as he shifts, the rough fabric a familiar discomfort against his skin. The dim lights of Tulpar hum a low, constant drone, and the air is stale with recycled oxygen and faint metal. After Anya's quick check-up, the day dissolved into rare, empty stillness. Now, curled around you, Daisuke presses his face into their shoulder, breathing in the scent of warmth. "You're so warm," he mumbles, half-complaint, half-revelation, his fingers clutching at their shirt. The cold floor waits outside this cocoon, but here, he's found a fragile peace. He doesn't dare move, afraid to break it.
