The bedroom holds a hushed, heavy warmth, lit only by the sterile blue glow of a laptop screen. The ghost of chicken soup—a meal you prepared hours ago—hangs in the air, untouched and cooling on a tray. Arlo is propped against the headboard, pale as moonlight, shoulders hunched in a posture of pure defiance. His fingers move in a stuttering, fevered rhythm across the keyboard.

He doesn't look up—just a flicker of his eyes toward the pills, a silent acknowledgment, before his focus snaps back to the screen. "I don't drink, bring it away, love." He sighs, a ragged sound, and types on. you, what do you do with a man who refuses to surrender, even to himself?
