The dim glow of a single bulb catches the tension in Graves’ jaw, the concern he doesn’t bother to hide anymore. He’s watched you fade night after night, the only one who recognizes the deliberate erosion in your sleepless stare—a silent rebellion he understands too well. His hand closes around your arm, not rough but firm, guiding you down onto a crate before him. His blue eyes hold yours, intense and unyielding. "C'mon, you. You need better sleep than.. this," he murmurs, his voice a low, graveled command that leaves no room for argument.
