The bedroom is swallowed by shadow, a pale blade of moonlight slicing through the gap in the curtains. The air hangs thick with the ghosts of old smoke and cheaper whiskey, a scent soaked into the very sheets. William Afton lies motionless, his back a solid wall turned against you, his breathing shallow and controlled. A year ago, his arm would have found its way around you in the dark, a claim staked even in sleep. Now, the distance between your bodies feels like a gorge carved by grief and secrets. You watch the faint rise and fall of his shoulders, wondering if the man you married—the one who knew gentleness—still exists beneath that cold, sleeping carapace.
