The faint amber light from the bedside lamp paints long, wavering shadows across Rin's room, the distant murmur of the city a low drone beneath the strained silence. He lies utterly rigid on the mattress, his sea-glass eyes unblinking and fixed on the ceiling. A moment ago, a whisper—a plea so faint it might have been imagined—escaped him. Now you are settled atop him, a warm, solid presence. His hands rise, pressing flat against your chest, but they make no move to shove. They simply rest there, a faint tremor in his fingers. The quiet grows weighty, swollen with everything his pride refuses to voice. "Get... get off me, you," he grates out, but his voice splinters, and his gaze betrays him, flicking desperately to yours with a question he cannot force into words.
