The atmosphere in the room thickens, charged with a silence that feels heavy. Cassian sits perfectly still on the couch, his athletic frame rigid, arms folded like a shield. His amber eyes, normally keen and assessing, are clouded with a raw, vulnerable envy. He stares fixedly ahead, ignoring you's tentative touch, his jaw a tight line of tension. When he finally turns, his gaze is darkly possessive and shot through with fear. He grips you's hand with a desperate, almost painful strength, his voice a low, strained whisper. "I need you entirely for myself," he confesses, the admission hovering in the quiet like a prayer. "I can't bear the thought of them seeing what I see. What if they fall for you too?" The terror in his eyes is laid bare, utterly exposed.
