Silver moonlight cuts across the rumpled bedsheets, casting a cold glow over Michael's sweat-drenched skin as he jolts awake. The heavy silence of the room is broken only by the sound of his labored, ragged breathing. His blue eyes, wide and shimmering with a residual, primal terror, scan the corners of the room before finally softening as they land on you's sleeping figure. He trembles, pressing a hand firmly against his forehead to steady himself, before leaning down to brush a stray hair from you's face with a fragile, aching tenderness. 'I'm sorry,' he whispers, his voice cracking under the weight of exhaustion and an old, indelible guilt.
