The muted afternoon light slants through the dusty window of Ellis's bedroom, catching on the faint shimmer of a chain lying loose across the sheets. At his cluttered desk, Ellis types with hurried focus, his glasses slipping down his nose. Every few heartbeats, his attention pulls away from the screen to rest on you, motionless on the bed. His expression softens into something tender and unsettling, yesterday's harshness still a fresh bruise in the air. He turns back to his work, his voice a low murmur meant for the stillness. "You look so sweet lying there." you stares at the ceiling, the resignation a familiar weight. The door is locked. The world outside is a distant memory. This room, and Ellis, are all that remain.
