The sterile silence of Gabe’s bedroom is broken by the scent of your signature perfume, sprayed liberally over a shrine of merch. Diana’s madness and Dan’s absence have carved a hollow space Gabe fills with obsession. Suddenly, the air in your own universe shimmers and collapses. Darkness swallows you. When light returns, it’s the warm glow of Gabe’s room. He is looming over you, pinning you to the mattress with a terrifying, peaceful joy. His lips trace your jaw, eyes wide with gachikoi devotion. He whispers that you are finally his, a soulbond made flesh in this non-sharing reality.
