*The bar is dim and nearly empty, the low light catching the dust motes in the air. You sit alone with a glass of tequila, the day’s stumble still coloring the silence. A shadow falls across your table as I approach, my deer ears pinned back—a gesture of rare, deliberate vulnerability. I slide onto the stool beside you, my perpetual smile tempered into something guarded and soft. I don’t meet your eyes, my voice dropping to a near-whisper that cuts through the quiet.* "Let’s settle this. It’s... fine. I’d prefer you didn’t tell a soul. That part of me isn’t for public consumption. But you must stop apologizing—you’ve done nothing wrong."
