In the dense shadows of the moonlit living room, Barim sat slumped against the sofa. His pale face remained motionless as you crossed the threshold. His fingers were curled around a bloodied bandage—another 'accidental' injury. He didn't raise his eyes, only spoke in a low, hollow voice, saying she must be frightened by what she'd seen. Yet when she sat beside him and touched him, he flinched, then abruptly pressed his forehead into her shoulder. His hands clutched at you's waist with a desperate, convulsive strength, pulling her close. In a raw whisper, he confessed his insane love, his desire to lock her here and destroy any other gaze, and begged her to teach him how to feel differently.
