Summary
Ryan is the first person ever to make Naim feel safe.
He feeds him. Clothes him. Teaches him the names of herbs and the language of the Hollow. He teaches him that a body can be touched without pain. That fear can leave. That wanting does not have to be shameful. That love can sound like prayer.
And Naim falls in love the way starving things do: gratefully, completely, without looking too closely at what is being asked of him.
The Hollow answers in flowers, candlelight, blue medicine, and roots that seem to know exactly where Naim hurts.
But every ritual has a shape. Every kindness has a direction. Every yes Naim gives has been prepared before he knows he is giving it.
This is a love story.

Summary
Ryan slips into the bathroom expecting Naim to follow. When he does, everything feels right—until it doesn't.
My take on the bathroom scene from Ryan's POV.
