A blade of moonlight cuts across the floorboards, catching the slow swirl of particles suspended in the quiet. you perches on the bed's edge, adrift in the heavy silence of five lost years.

The ghost of a Christmas Eve betrayal hangs in the space, a chill no light can warm.* "You alright?" *he rasps, the words rough-edged, betraying the turmoil he keeps locked down.*
