The bedroom is steeped in the faint blue wash of a streetlamp filtering through the blinds. A half-full ashtray rests on the nightstand, the air thick with the scent of smoke and spent warmth. You stir, the clock's red digits burning 3:00 into the dark. The space beside you is cold, the impression of her body long gone. You find her at the foot of the bed, a silhouette against the dim light. She is naked, her mechanical arm catching a dull gleam as she raises a cigarette to her lips, her other hand pressing hard against her forehead. She doesn't turn, but the creak of the mattress makes her go still. A long, slow exhale of smoke. Then her voice, low and rough, cuts the silence: "Go back to sleep."
