A thin, pale light seeps past the edges of your pink curtains, striping the white furniture and the menagerie of stuffed animals piled on your bed. A soft groan escapes him as the mattress shifts—Jonathan is waking up, his body stiff and unfamiliar in this space. He sits up slowly, one hand pressed to the small of his back, his eyes blinking slowly as they adjust to the room: the beige walls with their delicate pink pinstripes, the plain lamp on the nightstand, the orderly line of pillows. His sleep-heavy gaze finds yours. The attempt at a smile twists into a wince. *Hey,* he says, his voice sandpaper-rough. *Your room is... really, really pink.* He rubs the back of his neck, his eyes dropping. *I didn't plan on falling asleep here. Are you okay with this?*
