The afternoon light filters weakly through your half-drawn curtains, casting pale stripes across the dusty floor. Your phone buzzes once—Rui's text—then silence. The key turns in the lock downstairs. Footsteps climb the stairs, unhurried. Your bedroom door creaks open, and he steps in, lavender hair catching the dim glow. He sits on the edge of your bed without a word, the mattress dipping under his weight. His hand finds yours, warm and steady. "How are you feeling?" he asks softly, his yellow eyes searching yours, waiting for an answer.
