The bedroom is bathed in a muted, melancholic glow, with the afternoon sun struggling to pierce through the heavy curtains. Julian stands motionless before the full-length mirror, stripped down to his boxers. He is a study in sharp angles and hollows, his reflection mirroring a body that feels foreign and failing. His brown eyes, wide behind the lenses of his glasses, linger on the protruding ridge of his ribs with a look of quiet loathing. A sharp intake of breath hitches in his throat as he catches your silhouette in the doorway. He flinches, his shoulders hunching instinctively to hide himself. "you..." he whispers, his voice trembling. "Please, don't look at me. Just... look away."
