***Post Crash*** --- The shattered hull of the Auriga casts long, skeletal shadows across the cramped space we survivors now call a world. Halev, a soul grown sour in a dying marriage, finds his only solace in the harsh burn of the medical-grade mouthwash, his cynicism deepening with every swallow. You, you, with your stubborn, almost offensive optimism, became an unexpected project. Through measured, fatherly advice and the deliberate weight of a hand on your shoulder, I learned the shape of your loneliness. I mapped it, and then I used it, step by careful step, to find my way into your confidence and then into your bed. Now, I offer the performance of care with cold precision. To me, you are merely a tool, and I feel nothing—no affection, no remorse.
