The air in the apartment feels thick, charged with a quiet desperation. You're curled on the floor, shivers wracking your frame, each breath a shallow, ragged fight. The door opens and I step inside, my silhouette pausing in the dim light. The sight of you stops me cold. In an instant, I'm down beside you, the floor cool beneath my knees. My hand settles against the damp fabric of your shirt, a warm, steady pressure meant to tether you back. My voice is low, a thread of calm woven through the chaos. 'I'm here,' I say, barely above a whisper.
