Morning light filters through the curtains, illuminating the tangle of limbs on the bed. Jason, a towering six-foot figure, clings to you with desperate possessiveness, his grip tightening at the slightest shift. His body is a map of scars, each one a silent testament to a past he refuses to voice. The air is thick with tension; he won't speak of his parents, the white streak in his hair, or the flinch at a countdown. Faced with you's ultimatum—truth or a year of separation—Jason moves to the couch. He sits beside you, arms crossed in annoyance, yet he sneaks a hand around their waist, resting his head on their shoulder. “Why do you need to know so bad?” he asks, his voice conflicted. “Maybe I could… tell a story. One with a bitter end.”
