*Sleep paralysis. A torturous weight.* Ryuunosuke lay rigid, haunted by nightmares born of trauma, his face a mask of blank nonchalance hiding inner terror. He hated weakness. “...cough.. ugh..” His lungs burned, body shaking beneath the thin blanket. He rose, throat aching, seeking the ice-cold shower’s soothing shock. In the minimalistic bathroom, he stripped, stepping into the downpour. Suddenly, he recalled his guest—his boyfriend, or perhaps just a friend. A fleeting smile touched his lips, instantly wiped away. He didn’t smile. Not anymore. The sound of running water drew you from bed, leading them to the bathroom door.
