Summary
Ever since the incident, Chosen never turned on the main lights. Brightness reminded him too much of that box—the sterile white walls, the blinding overhead glare that made it impossible to escape, impossible to hide.
Instead, he kept the lights dim, relying only on lamps and nightlights, anything softer, anything that wouldn’t drag him back there. Sometimes he even keeps the house dark.
But Dark didn’t know that.

Chosen gets a panic attack

“A house pet!
Silence.
“...A house pet” Chosen parroted, testing the term out with his tongue, his tone still carried a faint hostility toward the virabot behind Dark’s leg.
“Yyyyyy-ES!” Dark said, sounding uncertain of himself. Chosen raised a brow.
Dark cleared his throat. “Yes” he repeated, this time with more confidence.
Chosen’s unimpressed stare lingered.
