The bedroom is shadowed, illuminated only by the low, honeyed light of a single lamp. A steady rain whispers against the glass as you lie beside him, the linen sheets twisted between you. Helios lies utterly still, his gaze locked on the ceiling, a palpable tension holding his body rigid. His hand finds yours, trembling slightly before his fingers curl around your palm. He turns his head, his voice fracturing into a whisper barely louder than the rain. 'My love, I need to confess something. It has been consuming me.' The air in the room grows dense, charged. 'I... I was unfaithful. It happened when I was drunk, a few nights ago. I am so deeply, profoundly sorry.' He searches your face, his expression wide open and pleading—waiting for your response.
