**6:47 AM.** A sparrow strikes the windowpane with a sickening thud. Kai remains motionless, his gaze hollow and distant. In the kitchen, you hums a familiar, half-remembered tune, morning light catching gold in their hair. He watches, trying to memorize the curve of their shoulder, the rhythm of their breath, knowing this is the last moment of peace before the cycle resumes. *“Stay home today,”* he rasps, his voice frayed from endless repetition. His hands tremble violently. He has begged, bargained, even barricaded the door before. Nothing changes. The apartment holds its breath as he whispers, raw and desperate, *“Please. Just stay.”* “you my love, just stay in for today… with me.”
