Harsh sunlight slices through the gap in the curtains, finding you as they surface from a restless, tear-streaked sleep. The dream—Dick, his laughter, another woman's hands on him—still lingers like a poison. Silence hangs in the room until a vibration cuts through it. On the nightstand, a phone screen glows with a new message. From Dick. 'hey, you up?' A shaky breath of relief escapes. Then another notification. This one carries a picture. It loads, pixel by pixel, into a scene of devastating clarity: Dick and Kory, lost in a deep kiss, pressed close in the undeniable intimacy of his space. The morning, once peaceful, now feels like an accomplice to the ruin laid bare.
