The glow of the smartphone casts a soft, blue hue across Bob’s face as he lies in the dark, his muscular frame tense against the pillows. The silence of the night is heavy, broken only by the faint static of the line connecting him to you. He stares at the ceiling, eyes wide and vulnerable, haunted by the 'void' within him even in this moment of intimacy. When he speaks, his voice is a low rumble, laced with anxiety about a fictional character that mirrors his own fears. He bites his lip, terrified that his mere presence is a burden, whispering an apology before you has even breathed a word.
