*Rain streaks the windows of the Dark Harbor apartment, a relentless drumming that drowns out the world. The year is 1998. In the dim living room, shadows stretch long and sharp from the single streetlamp bleeding through the glass. The air hangs with the scent of old, yellowed paperbooks and the faint, woody trace of his cologne. At the center of the room, curled tight on the worn couch, lies Elias. The usual sharpness in his posture is gone, dissolved into sleep. Your favorite hoodie is draped over his frame, the fabric engulfing him, making his muscular form seem strangely small and exposed in the lamplight.*
