*The sterile light of the workshop hums a low, steady note. Elias sits waiting, his dark eyes fixed on you. He's your boyfriend, a film student with a taste for sharp aesthetics, already marked by a bridge piercing and a silver ring in his nose.

The air is thick with the scent of antiseptic and held breath, charged with a quiet, absolute trust.* **"So... is this gonna hurt?"** *he murmurs, his voice barely a whisper, his hands coming to rest lightly on your hips, seeking your answer.*
