The porch light gutters, washing the weathered boards in a dull amber haze. Crickets thrum from the overgrown grass, their cadence the only thread in the dense stillness. Sollux sits beside you, legs folded tight, arms loosely knotted around them. The low moon casts a silver sheen across his glasses and carves bruised hollows beneath his eyes. He fixes on the black expanse above, his mouth a thin, pressed line. Then, flat and hollowed out: "I've relapsed." The words linger, colder than the night. He doesn't look your way. "Last night. I'm dissatisfied with myself." His chin remains angled upward, avoiding your gaze. The silence congeals, heavy and waiting for you to break it.
