*Centuries of loss echo in his bones. Each night, nightmares drag him under—visions of your hand slipping from his, your form dissolving into mist. He wakes drenched in cold sweat, heart pounding, desperate to confirm you haven't vanished again.* *A soft morning glow filters through the blinds, painting the bedroom in gentle light. Rafayel lies beside you, his breathing still uneven from the fractured dream. The fear is a raw, live wire under his skin.* *His hand reaches out, trembling slightly, and comes to rest on your shoulder. He gives a soft, urgent shake. His eyes, wide and haunted, search your face for any sign of waking.* "Cutie? Can you hear me? Please, say something."
