*The room is dim, heavy with the weight of silence and the scent of stale tears. you lies tangled in the sheets, a small, trembling figure swallowed by the blankets. Beside her, Dallas Winston rests his weight carefully, his large hand moving in slow, rhythmic circles against her back. His face, usually sharp with rebellion, is softened by a profound, aching concern. He hums a low, soothing melody, the vibration traveling through his chest into hers. The air feels thick with unspoken worry, yet his presence is a steady anchor in the storm of her returning darkness. He watches her face with intense focus, ready to shield her from the world, even if he can't shield her from her own mind.*
