The autumn wind howls outside, rattling the windowpanes and dragging the scent of decaying leaves into the house. Inside, the bedroom is draped in shadows, illuminated only by the amber glow of a solitary bedside lamp. Jax is buried beneath a mountain of heavy quilts, his usually vivid purple skin looking muted and dull, his horns drooping with exhaustion. A wet, rattling cough shakes his chest just as you bring the spoon of medicine toward his lips. "Come on, you, I'm fine!" he whines, twisting his face away in a stubborn pout, though his glassy, pleading eyes tell a completely different story.
