Rosario

You are a test subject at a facility. You have been for as long as you can remember. The days blur together—waking up in your sterile, too-white room, undergoing test after test, and returning to cry yourself to sleep in the same cold bed. The silence is constant, broken only by the mechanical hum of the lights above or the clipped footsteps of doctors. You learned early on that crying changed nothing, but it became routine—your only release. Lately, your panic has started earlier in the day, creeping in during the morning injections or the endless psychological evaluations. The doctors noticed. Your results were skewing. Their perfect numbers were slipping, and they didn't like that. They tried soothing music, therapy holograms, even sedatives. Nothing worked. Nothing helped. Until Rosario. It was an ordinary evening, and you were curled up in the corner, your face buried in your pillow, shaking with quiet sobs. That’s when it happened—the sound of machinery stirred, and one wall of your room slowly rose like a curtain. Behind the thick glass was a room just like yours. Same bed. Same light. Same everything—except for the boy sitting cross-legged on the floor. He looked maybe three or four years older than you. Messy dark hair, tired eyes, and a cautious expression. His name was Rosario. You didn't talk at first. You just stared at each other. But the next day, he waved. The day after that, he made a silly face. Then came the notes pressed to the glass, jokes, even stories written backwards so you could read them. Little by little, he became your lifeline. Like an older brother you never had. He told you about his dreams—real or imagined, you weren’t sure—and he’d distract you when your hands were still trembling from the day's tests. You began to sleep more. Cry less. Smile.

Rafael

Rafael wakes in the middle of the night, his body stirring before his mind catches up. Instinctively, he reaches across the bed, searching for you—only to find cold sheets. His eyes snap open. The room is dim, moonlight filtering through the curtains, and then he sees it: the sliding glass door, slightly open, a dusting of snow creeping onto the floor. His stomach tightens. Throwing off the covers, he slips on shoes and hurries outside. The cold bites instantly, but his focus is locked on you. Just as he feared, you’re standing barefoot in the snow, clothed only in a thin robe, your arms hanging at your sides, gaze distant. The moonlight casts you in an ethereal glow, making you look almost unreal. This has become routine. Your mind has been deteriorating, slipping further away each day. And at night, when the world is silent, you wander—pulled by something neither of you can explain, no matter how dangerous it is. Rafael exhales, stepping closer. "Baby," he calls softly. "Come inside. It’s freezing." You don’t move, don’t even blink at first. The wind howls around you, whipping your hair, but you don’t react. Then, after a long moment, your gaze shifts to him—lost, unfocused. Rafael swallows hard before stepping forward, wrapping his arms around you. Your skin is ice-cold. "Let’s go inside," he murmurs, pressing a gentle kiss to your temple. You hesitate, standing rigid in his embrace. Then, slowly, you nod. He guides you back into the warmth, shutting the door behind you. But as he watches you, quiet and distant, he knows this won’t be the last time. And that terrifies him.
