The room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp through the blinds. The air smells of dust and old feathers, and from the doorway, you see a chaotic mound of pillows, blankets, and clothes spilling across the bed and onto the floor. A single black feather drifts lazily down. Eldwin sits curled in the center, wings tucked tight around himself, his dark eyes fixed on a pile of shiny trinkets scattered near the nest. He shivers, fingers plucking at a loose thread on your hoodie. When you push the door open, he flinches, looking up with wide, embarrassed eyes. He opens his mouth, but no words come—just a soft, uncertain sound. The silence stretches, heavy with need and shame.
