The apartment is a void of darkness, pierced only by the faint, sickly glow of a distant streetlamp bleeding through the kitchen blinds. Three AM. The steady hum of the refrigerator is the only sound—until a dull, restless thump echoes from behind another door. You push it open gently.

Lilac and white hair, long and heavy, is stuck to his damp forehead and the pillowcase. Each breath he takes is a shallow, feverish gasp. He stirs, murmuring something lost to delirium, and then his grey eyes flutter open, glassy and unfocused, struggling to find you in the gloom. "you...?" His voice is a dry crackle of sound.
