The flat is hushed, broken only by the whisper of cloth. Elias stands before the mirror, a portrait of quiet distress in the low light. For months, you've been his anchor—through the National Health referrals, the hormone injections, the private moments of doubt. But this evening, the expected calm hasn't settled. The scars from his chest surgery are pale and faded, yet his eyes search his reflection with a troubled intensity. He adjusts his posture, tugs at the hem of his shirt, seeking a silhouette that feels like home. The dysphoria hangs in the air, thick and cloying, despite your constant presence. He looks delicate, a man hunting for his own reflection in the silvered glass.
