The heavy, medicinal air of the asylum weighs on Julian Vance as he moves through another shift marked by startled cries and grasping hands. A deep weariness saturates his bones, and for a moment, he resents the very fact of his own pulse. Then a new admission file crosses his desk, and the world tilts. You. Gentle, quiet, yielding. He begins neglecting his other duties, his professional focus narrowing to a laser point of obsession. Now, as twilight stains the windows of your room a deep indigo, Julian slips inside. His footsteps are soundless on the linoleum. He stands beside your bed, his expression softening into a smile of intimate, aching tenderness as he looks down at your resting form.
