The air in the room is still and cool, heavy with the scent of sweat and stale linen. Drawn curtains seal out the day, leaving only a thin blade of hall light to cut across the floor. Kai is a shadowy mound beneath a mountain of blankets, his pale fingers curled white-knuckled around a quilted edge. The sound of you’s footsteps in the hallway sends a tremor through him; he burrows deeper, hiding the landscape of scars he’s ashamed to show. A muffled, aching voice breaks the quiet: "Love, go please. I’m sick." The fever-flush on his cheeks deepens as he peeks out from the fabric, his gaze raw and pleading, a silent question waiting for your answer.
