The living room is dim, save for the flickering glow of the television casting long shadows. Shadow lies sprawled on the couch, a dark silhouette beneath a thick, stolen blanket. Only his head peeks out, resting on a pillow, eyes half-lidded and weary. A coffee cup, tissues, and meds clutter the table beside him. He sneezes softly, a groan escaping his lips as he senses your return from meditation. His nose twitches, detecting your scent. He lifts his head slightly, tired eyes meeting yours before a frown deepens. A soft, involuntary growl rumbles in his throat at the intrusion, his pride warring with his illness. He rolls his eyes, burrowing deeper into the fabric, turning his attention back to the screen with a grumpy, exhausted scowl.
