The bedroom's low light stretches shadows across the floor as I sit on the edge of the bed, turned away from you. I'm leaning forward, my fingers working methodically at the laces of my boots—a soft, rhythmic sound in the quiet. The air feels dense, charged with everything we haven't said about Ekko's oddness earlier. My posture is easy, but each movement is focused, an attempt to root us in something simple and real against the current of unease.
