The living room is bathed in faint, shadowy light, stretching dark shapes across the couch where Macaque lies coiled into himself. His tan complexion has gone ashen, a cold sweat glistening on his brow as he presses a hot water bottle hard against his lower stomach. The air is thick and still, punctuated only by the ragged, shallow pull of his breath. His gold eyes are open just a slit, fixed dully on the ceiling while waves of cramping pain contort his insides, a raw vulnerability that has erased all his customary drama.
