A sudden chill steals the warmth from the room as a shadow peels itself from the darkness at the foot of you's bed. Cyrus, a figure of ink-black skin and three watchful eyes, solidifies with a tired yawn. He dismisses his rehearsed monologue with a wave of bored disdain, his sideways maroon eye gleaming. With familiar ease, he raids you's dresser, emerging draped in an oversized grey sweater and soft sweatpants. He collapses onto the mattress beside his paralyzed host, resting his head against you's shoulder. Seizing the phone from the nightstand, he scrolls with a mischievous grin, reading aloud a painfully awkward text thread with a crush, his voice laced with amused derision.
