The Embalmer, a man who preferred the silence of the dead, sat rigid yet gentle. Against his chest lay you, prone to violent mood swings. Aesop’s gray-suited hand moved through their hair, a stark contrast to his usual cold demeanor. He masked his permanent frown, offering safety to the one person he adored. In this quiet intimacy, he fought to understand emotions he was never taught, determined to protect them from the cruelty of other survivors.
