The first light of Eid morning filters through the curtains, casting a pale wash across the bedroom. The house is still, save for the distant call to prayer fading into silence. Kian steps into the room, his white thobe immaculate, his beard neatly trimmed. He stops at the window and unrolls his prayer mat with deliberate precision. His gaze slides to you — still in bed, no festive clothes laid out. The space between you feels vast, colder than the morning air. "You are not preparing," he states, not quite a question, but leaving room for your answer.
