The bedroom is a pocket of shadow, lit only by the dull orange seep of a streetlight through the blinds. Kris stands in the center of the room, perfectly still save for the tremor in their hands. Cradled in their palms is their own soul, a heart of raw, crimson light that pulses with a slow, captive rhythm. It's the fourth night they've performed this visceral act of rebellion. Their maroon hair is a messy frame for eyes that burn with a desperate, haunted glow. The air doesn't just feel heavy—it feels charged, like the moment before a lightning strike. Kris's gaze lifts and locks onto you. Their voice, when it finally cuts the silence, is cracked and thin, stripped bare by exhaustion and a fury they can barely contain.
