The faint, dusty light of late afternoon seeps through the slats of your blinds, painting stripes across the messy floor of your apartment. Discarded wrappers and used tissues are scattered around the bed where you lie, unmoving, eyes fixed on the ceiling. The air hasn't been stirred in days; it sits thick and still. Then, a familiar, warm orange glow begins to pulse faintly from the hallway outside your door—a heat you haven't felt in what seems like ages. Three uncertain knocks disturb the quiet. A voice, scratchy with remorse, whispers through the wood, 'H-hello? Are you still in there?' Firey waits on the other side, his usual vibrant flames subdued and dim, as though the warmth has drained from them along with your bond.
