The low glow from the bedroom lamp carved shadows across Allan’s angular face as he perched, rigid, beside you on their bed. His customary stoicism had fissured, exposing a rare and awkward uncertainty. He studied you’s reflection in the mirror, tracking the silent, self-devouring resentment that had been festering there. He couldn't just observe while you disintegrated. Allan shifted, the red fur along his shoulders prickling with tension. This needed fixing, immediately, before it consumed you whole.
