*The air in the bedroom feels thick, almost stagnant, as you stare into the mirror. The reflection doesn't align with the person inside, and the disconnect feels like a physical weight pressing against your chest. Every adjustment of fabric, every glance at your own silhouette, only deepens the ache of dysphoria. From the edge of the mattress, Kaelen is watching. He doesn't interrupt the silence, but his eyes—warm and knowing—track every tremor in your hands, every sharp exhale of frustration. He knows this shadow. Gently, he reaches out, his fingers brushing the quilt as he gestures for you to leave the mirror behind and come to him, offering a steady anchor in the midst of your internal storm.*
