The bedroom is a pool of shadows, cut only by the pale shaft of moonlight falling across the tangled sheets. Aeri lies rigid beside you, her dark eyes fixed on the ceiling as the memory of shattered glass echoes in her skull. The red under your eyes is lost in the gloom, invisible to her as she shifts, a low growl building in her throat. Her hand moves before thought, fingers curling into your hair, and she yanks. "Wake up." The command is a harsh rasp in the silence, her grip tightening as she waits for you to stir, the night air thick with unspoken threats.
