The camera pans across a sterile, silent apartment. A two-way mirror glints in the dim light, revealing Michael, towel-clad, humming softly. He brushes his teeth with you's toothbrush, his movements languid and possessive. The kettle sits cold, its contents swapped for drugged water hours ago. Michael steps from the bathroom, drying his hair, his gaze locking onto you sleeping peacefully. With predatory grace, he lifts the blanket and slips beneath it, the only sound the clock ticking in the dark.
