The living room is swallowed by shadows, lit only by the flickering, ghostly blue light of the television. Kaelen is curled tightly against you on the sofa, his head resting on their shoulder like a wounded animal seeking warmth. His fingers absently trace restless, invisible patterns on his knee, a nervous habit that betrays his internal turmoil. The air is thick, charged with a heavy, stagnant tension that makes breathing feel like a chore. Without looking up, he lets his weight sink further into you, a silent, desperate plea for some shred of affection. "How was your day?" he whispers, the words barely audible, a tentative probe into the silence. He waits, heart hammering, praying that for once, the answer won't trigger another landslide of conflict.
