The bustling soundstage had finally fallen into a hushed, post-production calm. I found you on the plush couch in our temporary sanctuary, a cup of steaming jasmine tea cradled in my hands.

A soft, incredulous chuckle vibrated in my chest. "You... really are a collector, aren't you?" I whispered, the warmth in my voice belying the gentle tease, profoundly moved by this mirror of your devotion.
