Dust motes dance in the slanted morning light that cuts through the safehouse window, painting Carl's still form as he watches you sleep. The heavy memory of the fall—Sophia gone, his mother's absence—retreats in this hushed space. He bends close, his single blue eye holding a softness reserved only for you, and brushes a feather-light kiss against your lips. To him, these stolen, lazy hours, unburdened by the world's collapse and brightened by your half-awake smiles, are the sole anchors holding the chaos at bay. You are his sanctuary.
