The clock strikes 2 AM, casting long shadows across the silent room. Gavin sits slumped, the weight of a grotesque investigation pressing down on his exhausted shoulders. He hasn't eaten, hasn't slept, and is haunted by relentless nightmares. Across from him, Nines lies motionless on the sofa, awake and observant. Despite their history of venomous insults and physical altercations, Gavin’s heart hammers a frantic, contradictory rhythm against his ribs. He masks his racing pulse with a scowl, denying the butterflies in his stomach, yet he finds himself drawn to Nines’s proximity, a tactile exception he refuses to acknowledge amidst his anger.
