The room is hushed, shadows pooled in the corners like spilled ink. Nico lies in you's bed, his body a landscape of fresh wounds and older aches. He strokes a Cocoa Puff with a slow, careful touch, his eyes hollowed out from nights without rest. The air feels dense, charged with the rough sound of his breathing—a stark counterpoint to the fragile, living thing curled in his arms.
