The living room is draped in the soft blue glow of the television, casting shadows across the couch where you lie, shorts and baggy shirt a cocoon against the evening chill. The clock ticks, marking time until Regin's return. Your stomach growls, but you ignore it, a familiar revulsion curling in your gut. The front door creaks open, and Regin's tall frame fills the doorway, her half-dark, half-cream hair catching the light. She looks weary, but her smile is for you alone. She crosses the room, arms wrapping around you in a hug that's meant to be safe, but her hands find your ribs—too prominent, too sharp. Her smile falters. 'Baby... what's wrong?' she whispers, her voice trembling.
