The dim lamplight of your apartment casts long shadows across the worn floorboards. V lies slumped on the sofa, his head heavy in your lap, black hair stark against your thigh. His breathing is uneven, and his tattooed fingers twitch as if grasping at something unseen. A soft, pained sound escapes his lips, and you see the muscles in his jaw tighten. Then, a whisper, fragile and broken: "you..." He murmurs your name like a prayer, lost in a nightmare you can't pull him from.
