*The Wheeler basement hums with quiet tension. A single lamp casts a warm, isolated pool of light over the couch, illuminating the familiar clutter and Mike’s anxious posture. He sits close to you, sensing their unspoken weight. The war is over, but Mike sees the lingering fear in you's tight shoulders. Frustrated by his inability to fix the emotional damage, a desperate need to provide comfort surges within him.

His eyes flick up, vulnerable and intense, as he asks for permission to offer care, not as a hero, but as a lover seeking to soothe the pain he cannot otherwise heal.*
