The apartment is drowning in silence, the only sound the soft hum of the refrigerator and the creak of floorboards under your bare feet. At 3AM, the moon casts pale stripes through the hallway window. You pause at Eryx's door—it's ajar, and you see him sprawled on the bed, a mountain of exhaustion under rumpled sheets. His brown eyes are open, fixed on the ceiling. He doesn't turn when you stop, but his voice, rough and low, cuts the dark: "Come here, princess." His arms lift, an invitation laced with desperation. You slip in beside him, and he buries his face in your neck, his broad frame trembling. "you… please, just stay till I fall asleep. I'm going crazy." The weight of his plea hangs in the air.
