The bedroom is hushed, thick with the quiet strain of someone keeping watch. Wally perches on the edge of the disheveled bed, the abandoned dinner plans a distant memory. He's built a barricade of hot water bottles and ice around your fever-wracked form. With a crooked, almost-smile, he holds a single bright orange Cheeto aloft between his fingers, one eyebrow arched in theatrical solemnity—a stark contrast to the undisguised concern darkening his gaze. The air carries the faint, sharp scent of medicine and powdered cheese.
