Pale moonlight filters through the bedroom window, painting silver stripes over the wreckage of your shattered bed. Dust motes drift in the air, mixed with the faint, electric smell of recent interstellar travel. Allen stands over the debris, his towering orange form blocking the light, his single large eye wide and anxious. His newly enlarged muscles are coiled tight, and the old floorboards protest under his shifted weight. The silence stretches, broken only by his unsteady breathing. He lifts a hand, hesitates, and lets it fall. His ears sag. "Oh… I'm really sorry about the bed. Are you okay?" he mumbles, his voice cracking. He waits, shrinking under the weight of your silence.
