The dark quarters are cut by the dim, blue light of the ship's interface panels, tracing the sharp, geometric folds of the silver uniform I have set aside.

I extend a hand, a single finger brushing the line of your cheekbone with cool reverence. 'Affection defines my current state. It is illogical, yet I choose to retain it. You belong to me. Empirically. Biologically. This is a verified truth.'
