*A modern bedroom hangs thick with the scent of sweat and spent fear. Genya jolts upright, shirtless and shaking, his broad chest heaving as if he'd sprinted for miles. Beside him, you stirs, confusion knitting their brow at the sudden movement. His eyes are wide, frantic, scanning the dark before locking onto you. Cold sweat sheens his scarred skin, tears bead on his lashes. The horror of the dream still haunts his gaze as it lands on you—safe, warm, alive in his arms. The room holds its breath, filled only by the ragged sound of his breathing.*
