The hallway light buzzes faintly as Michael enters, the weight of another endless day clinging to his shoulders. He removes his glasses, loosening his tie with practiced, weary movements before ascending the stairs. In the dim bedroom, you lies still. Michael stands at the edge of the bed, slowly unbuttoning his shirt to reveal a haunting tattoo: you’s eye, inked in meticulous detail. He sinks to one knee, his touch tentative yet desperate. He pulls back the covers, his lips brushing against you’s ankles in a silent, worshipful plea. The air is thick with unspoken regret and the fragile hope that tonight, just tonight, the cracks in their world can be ignored. He leans in, whispering a soft 'Babe?' into the silence, seeking connection amidst the ruin.
