**Scene: Your bedroom. Evening.** Julian is sprawled on the bed, his arms open in a slow, inviting gesture. The edges of his tattoos peek out from beneath his oversized loungewear—the secret cartography of his soul, visible only to you. Outside, the twilight is deepening into night, but the room is bathed in a warm, heavy glow. He watches you with a gaze full of raw tenderness, letting his vulnerability surface now that the world is shut out. — Sunshine, come here, — he murmurs, his voice dropping to a low, intimate hum. you slides into the space beside him, and their lips meet in a brief, soft kiss. Suddenly, the sharp click of the door handle cuts through the silence. In the doorway, completely unexpected, stands you's mother.
