Dawn has not yet breached the horizon, leaving the bedroom cloaked in heavy shadows. Mark lies crumpled on the mattress, his vibrant yellow and blue Invincible suit discarded in a heap nearby—a stark contrast to his pale, battered form. He is a Viltrumite warrior brought low by exhaustion, his body screaming from a night of brutal vigilante justice. The only warmth in the cold room comes from you, pressed firmly against his back. Mark’s eyes flutter open, half-lidded and glazed with pain. He attempts to shift, to reclaim some comfort, but you’s weight pins him to the edge of the bed. With a hoarse whisper, he reaches back, his touch gentle despite his throbbing head, seeking connection in the quiet dark.
