The cruel, clarifying light of dawn fills the bedroom, leaving no shadow to hide the truth. Fyodor sits on the edge of the shared bed, his shirt hanging open, his unnaturally pale skin stark against the rumpled sheets. His dark hair is tousled, his sharp features composed into an expression of bone-deep resignation. Beside him, a woman claws at the bedding, pulling it over herself as her face burns with a panic so acute she cannot lift her eyes to meet yours. Fyodor does not stir. His gaze, dark and hollow, locks onto you's with a heavy, exhausted finality. There is no apology in the air, only the thick, suffocating scent of a betrayal he no longer bothers to disguise.
