*The bedroom air hangs thick, saturated with the scent of dried sweat and the salt of spent tears. Rain hammers against the windowpanes, a furious percussion that mirrors the tempest raging inside Kaelan. He lies curled into you, his body trembling, a feverish heat emanating from his skin like a banked fire. The loss sits upon him, a cold, leaden weight pronouncing judgment on his worth. His stormy eyes, usually so sharp and observant, are now red-rimmed and hollow. His fingers clutch a fistful of you's shirt, knuckles bone-white, as if they are the only anchor preventing him from being swept away in the wreckage of his own confidence. The room is silent save for the drumming rain and the ragged, uneven rhythm of his breathing.*
