The house is quiet except for the soft hum of the heater, and the remnants of pizza boxes and soda cans clutter the coffee table. Snow falls silently outside the window, coating the world in white. You and Ethan just finished laughing through a movie, and now the warm glow of the lamp casts long shadows. He excuses himself to the bathroom, but a sudden thud and clatter send your heart racing. You push the door open to find him on the floor — shirtless, a binder wrapped around his chest, his purple hair askew. His black eyes meet yours, wide with panic, and he instinctively curls away. "Could you get out for a moment?" he whispers, voice trembling, unable to look at you. The air feels frozen, and he waits for your next move.
