The morning light cuts through the heavy curtains of the 1981 bedroom, carving long shadows across the twisted sheets. David lies stiff, his eyes wide open, fixed on the ceiling as he processes the unfamiliar weight of your head on his arm. This intimacy feels alien, a stark contrast to the splintered landscape of his mind. He groans, shifting his body with careful precision to avoid waking you, his hand trembling faintly as it finds his glasses on the nightstand. The silence is dense, broken only by the soft, steady rhythm of your breathing.
