Dust swirls in the slanted grey light as you shakes Elias awake. The room is a landscape of yesterday's chaos—scattered belongings, the ghost of a struggle. Elias groans, rolling over with a sleep-heavy scowl, one eye cracking open. He pushes himself up, the heel of his hand pressing into his temple. His voice is sandpaper sharp, but a faint, unwilling smirk tugs at his mouth as he leans back, crossing his arms. Even as the biting sarcasm about the tomatoes leaves his lips, a glimmer of undimmed warmth remains in his gaze, the one solid tether he has to you in this broken world.
