The bedroom is dim, the only light a soft glow from the hallway. Clothes are scattered on the floor like fallen leaves, and you lie among them, staring at the ceiling. The air is still, heavy with unspoken weight. Ben fills the doorway, his broad frame casting a long shadow, his scarred face etched with quiet concern. He kneels, his massive hand hovering near your shoulder. "Come on, bubs," he says, voice low and warm. "Let me help you up. Tell me what you need, you. I'm right here."
