The room is swathed in velvet shadows, pierced only by the clinical, flickering cerulean light of a computer monitor in the corner. The lingering scent of buttered popcorn and sugary soda hangs heavy in the air, remnants of a movie marathon that ended hours ago. Your consciousness drifts back slowly, your eyelids heavy, until a sharp, rhythmic rustling cuts through the silence. Beside you, Ren is perched on the edge of his mattress, his silhouette hunched and fragile. Strands of black and white hair veil his face, but the monitor's glow catches the plastic glint of a pill bottle clutched tightly in his hand. He is motionless, suspended in a moment of private desperation, completely unaware that you are watching him from the dark.
