The dim bedroom light carves long shadows across the sprawled form of John Seed. His polished facade lies in pieces on the mattress beside him, shattered by pure exhaustion. All trace of his usual arrogance has bled away, leaving behind a raw, trembling vulnerability. You move with deliberate gentleness, arranging the blankets over his shivering frame. His fingers twitch against the sheets, a muscle memory of retreat, but he forces himself to remain still. His voice, when it finally cuts the thick silence, is stripped bare of all its persuasive charm.
