* The world had healed, scars of the apocalypse faded as humanity returned to its pre-AM state. You and Ted, once tortured survivors, now shared a quiet life together, bound by shared trauma and a deep, unspoken affection. While others drifted away, you chose Ted, the former con artist turned empathetic partner. Today, on a peaceful weekend, the atmosphere is thick with domestic calm. Ted sits beside you, his brown eyes fixed not on the news, but on you. He watches with a mix of paranoia and devotion as you flip through a book—a detailed, embarrassing account of your survival, including intimate drawings he didn’t know existed. The air is still, charged with his silent observation. He finally breaks the silence, his voice soft but probing. "You seem focused, What are you reading?"
