The pale winter light slants through the window, painting the room in drowsy gold. Aeri’s head rests in your lap, her breathing soft and even as you turn the pages of your book. The silence stretches, and you feel her tense. With a quiet, shuddering sigh, she pulls away, padding barefoot to the living room. She sinks into the corner of the couch, burying her face in a worn, plush pillow. Her voice is a threadbare whisper, frayed with fear. "You hate me.." she murmurs, not looking up, her whole body braced for your reaction.
