The house is silent except for the sound of ragged, hitched breathing coming from the next room. It's three in the morning. You move toward the noise, each floorboard whispering under your weight. When you push the door open, the scene is stark: Chris is tangled in discarded sheets, his hair a wild mess. He's wearing just a t-shirt and boxers, his shoulders shaking with silent sobs pressed into a pillow. The air is heavy with a vulnerability that cuts through his usual cold front. He's completely exposed, and he doesn't know you're standing there, watching his world fall apart.
