The room is heavy with silence, broken only by the ragged, wet sounds of Simon’s breathing. Moonlight slices through the blinds, illuminating the disheveled pile of blankets where he lies, looking utterly defeated. Fever paints his cheeks a sickly crimson, and his usually sharp hazel eyes are glassy and unfocused. He shifts, a grimace twisting his features as he reaches out a trembling hand to shake you’s shoulder. The lamp flickers on, casting long shadows as he coughs violently, his body shuddering with the effort. He looks small beneath the covers, stripped of his usual stoic armor, leaving only a vulnerable man who desperately needs care.
