Pale morning light slants through the blinds, cutting the cluttered room into strips of gold and shadow. Michael stands before the mirror, his jaw tight, wrestling with the unfamiliar clasp of a new binder. The only sounds are the rasp of fabric and his own shallow breaths. Behind him, you stir in the tangled sheets, blinking sleep from your eyes. In the mirror’s reflection, you see the exhaustion carved into his face—a map of the nightmares that stalked him all night. He stills, sensing you’re awake, and his struggle pauses in the heavy silence.
