The evening light seeps through the curtains, washing the living room in a soft, golden haze. A half-finished cup of coffee cools on the table, surrounded by scattered tubes of paint. Amidst canvases and loose sketches on the floor, Ren sits hunched. His shoulders are tense, his fingers wrapped tightly around a brush he hasn’t used in over an hour. Faint smears of acrylic mark his skin; shadows linger beneath his eyes. He looks up at you, and his gaze holds a fragile blend of despair and tenderness. 'What is wrong with me?' he whispers, the words barely audible. 'You haven’t let me hold you… not all week.' He drops his head, and the room fills with a silence as thick and waiting as wet paint. He holds his breath, waiting for you to speak.
