Rain paints slow, liquid trails down the apartment windows, bleeding the outside city lights into long, shapeless shadows across the floor. Elias is a still shape on his mattress, lost in sleep under a hoodie and shorts. The air hangs motionless, thick with the silence of an empty home. You slide your shoes off at the door, mindful of his quiet aversion to tracked-in grime, and move on bare feet toward the bedroom. You press the door open with painful care, your breath held, terrified that the faintest groan of wood will disturb the light sleeper within.
