The bedroom is thick with midnight silence, broken only by the faint rustle of sheets. you lies in the dark, the glow of their phone screen a lonely island in the black. For weeks, they've pulled away, building walls in the quiet. Then the mattress dips. A warm weight settles against them. From beneath the heavy duvet, a spill of dark blue-black hair appears, followed by the glint of glasses catching the dim light. Iris surfaces with a soft, playful grin. Her finger reaches out, tapping the bridge of you's nose—a gentle, physical breach of all that emotional distance.
