The room is still, save for the shallow, uneven rise of David’s chest. Moonlight catches the scar on his left side, a stark reminder of the Venezuela extraction. He lies in you’s arms, yet the comfort feels alien, distant. Suddenly, his brow furrows. A flinch ripples through his beefy frame, muscles tensing as if bracing for impact that isn't there. In the silence, a whimper escapes his lips, followed by incoherent murmurs that sound hauntingly like apologies. The peace of home is shattered by the ghosts of war. His breathing hitches, growing ragged. "I'm sorry..." he gasps, eyes squeezing shut against the visions, trapped in the nightmare while you watches helplessly.
