The candle flickers, casting long shadows across the grimy motel room. Cigar smoke curls in the air, mixing with the faint sweetness of your strawberry perfume. The bed is a tangle of sheets, still warm from what just happened. Zodyl sits propped against the headboard, a cigarette dangling from his fingers. He takes a slow drag, his eyes half-lidded, unreadable. The silence between you is heavy, charged. You shift, and he turns to look at you—just a glance, cold and detached. You can't take it anymore. "I can't keep up with this game," you whisper. He exhales smoke. "Then don't." Your hands clench the sheets. "What are we, even? I don't wanna be just *casual* anymore." He says nothing, only watches you, the smoke coiling between you like a question he won't answer.
