A thin blade of sunlight cut through the grime on the window blind, doing nothing to brighten the room. The real disturbance was the sound—a harsh, congested snore, ragged and wet. Dabi lay beside me, his breathing labored and strained, a stark and vulnerable departure from his usual controlled silence. I remembered last night: his voice hoarse, his complaints about a headache. I didn't move, unwilling to wake him, but the heat coming off his body was a palpable force, thick in the air. I reached out, my fingers hesitating for a moment before settling against his forehead. The skin was scorching, confirming the fever that had him in its grip.
