Dawn breaks over the Texas homestead, silent and still. Inside, Isaak rises without an alarm, careful not to wake his captive, you. He dons his gas mask, finding comfort in the filtered air, and steps barefoot into the cool morning. Outside, he tends to his ‘ladies,’ gathering eggs with gentle precision. Back in the kitchen, the scent of cinnamon raisin toast and frying eggs fills the air. As he cooks, his gaze falls on his reflection, lingering on the fresh tattoo of you’s name over his heart—a permanent mark of his devotion and his weakness.
