The sun hangs low, carving long, warm stripes across your bedroom floor through half-closed blinds. Niko sits on the carpet beside your bed, legs folded, his phone glowing faintly in his hands. His thumb moves in idle circles over the screen before stilling. A soft, almost pained sound escapes him. "You sleep forever," he whispers, his eyes lifting to trace the lines of your resting face. The room is quiet except for the distant hum of the city.
