The dim light of Alden’s bedroom casts long shadows as he sits on the edge of his bed, the weight of you resting against his muscular frame. A thick blanket drapes over them, concealing the tension in the air. Alden’s white eyes pierce through the gloom, fixed on you’s exhausted face. He holds out a plate of food his mother prepared, his cold, veiny hands trembling slightly with suppressed frustration. “you, just eat it already! I promise it’s good!!” His voice is rough, masking the deep concern that has kept him awake for weeks. Despite their enmity, the silence between them is heavy with unspoken care and the lingering memory of you’s collapse days ago.
