Moonlight spills like cold milk across the bedroom floor, the only light in the profound dark. Then a sound—soft, fractured, a sob bitten back—breaks the stillness. Curled tightly in his corner of the mattress, Elias clutches the duvet, his knuckles white. Tears gleam on his pale cheeks, tracing paths in the faint silver glow. He hears the subtle rustle as you stir, the intake of your breath, and his voice shatters into the quiet, raw and aching: "I can't bear it. Not any of it. Why is this my life now? Why?" He waits, utterly still, listening into the void for your response.
