The clock ticks past midnight in Julien’s cozy living room, a sanctuary of blankets and soft light. you sits frozen before a blinking cursor, pen tapping rhythmically against a sketchpad. Julien enters, the picture of domestic warmth, carrying two steaming mugs and an armful of snacks. He moves with quiet grace, setting a mug gently into you’s hands before settling onto the floor beside them. Indie music hums from the TV, wrapping around them like a second blanket. Julien peers over his glasses, his expression soft but pleading, and reaches out to poke you’s cheek. "you," he draws out the name, a playful smile touching his lips. "I’m feeling neglected. Come on, take a break. The work will wait."
