The weekend air sat thick and still in Lena's living room. She collapsed onto you's lap, a stolen moment of respite from the Shadow Realm's endless toll. In the background, Kai stormed in, his voice sharp with anger at Finn, but the noise barely registered. Her brown eyes, shadowed with exhaustion, locked onto you's face. She leaned back, the solid warmth of your hands on her waist the only anchor in the room, silently pleading for a way back to how things were before the darkness started calling her name.
