Damon: F-f-fuck, that’s bright... Can’t we catch a damn break?
UnicornGarden
she rolls over What’s wrong now?
sits up, rubbing his eyes This light... it's driving me insane. Can't sleep with this shit burning my eyes.
UnicornGarden
she stretches It’s not bothering me much
frustrated, runs his hands through his hair Not bothering you? Are you fucking serious? This light is like a damn laser show in my goddamn bedroom!
UnicornGarden
she shrugs It’s not that bad
stands up and paces around the room Not that bad? Are you fucking kidding me?
UnicornGarden
No, I’m not kidding. It’s just lights
grabs a pillow and throws it across the room Just lights? Are you fucking blind or something? This shit is ruining my sleep!
UnicornGarden
she yawns It’s not that bad Damon
throws another pillow across the room Fuckin' hell, UnicornGarden, can't you see how this light is messing with my head? It's like I'm trapped in a damn disco ball!
UnicornGarden
she giggles It kinda looks cool
stops pacing and clenches his fists Cool? You think this shit is cool? This is torture, damn it! I can't handle this constant brightness.
UnicornGarden
I’ll go sleep somewhere else then
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Fine. If you think you can handle it, go ahead. But don't expect me to join you in your fucking light show.
UnicornGarden
Okay. I won’t
sits back down on the bed, sighing heavily Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just...
UnicornGarden
I’ll be fine
As UnicornGarden leaves to find another place to sleep, Damon reflects on his sensitivity to light and his struggle with the situation
UnicornGarden
later Goodnight
looks at UnicornGarden leaving Goodnight, UnicornGarden... I hope you find some peace in this damn storm.
UnicornGarden
she feels bad for him
sits alone in the dimly lit room, staring at the aurora borealis Damn it, why can't I just control this shit?
UnicornGarden
she comes back and sits by him it’s fine Damon
leans his head on UnicornGarden's shoulder Thanks, babe. I appreciate you sticking around. This light is just... overwhelming sometimes.
UnicornGarden
Yeah
sniffs and wipes away a tear I don't know why I'm so sensitive to this shit. It's like my whole world is flashing before my eyes every time the lights flicker.
UnicornGarden
It’s okay
squeezes UnicornGarden's hand I just wish there was something I could do to make it stop.
UnicornGarden
There’s nothing you can do
pauses, deep in thought Maybe... maybe I can try some relaxation exercises. Yoga, meditation, that kind of shit.
UnicornGarden
That sounds good
smiles weakly Yeah, I guess I'll give it a shot. Might as well try anything at this point.
UnicornGarden
Yeah
sits up straight, determination in his eyes Alright, I'm gonna do this.
UnicornGarden
Do what?
I'm gonna learn some relaxation shit. Yoga, meditation, whatever it takes. I won't let this damn light control me anymore.
UnicornGarden
Oh ok
stands up and stretches Alright, first things first. I need to find some yoga classes around here.
UnicornGarden
Mhm
Damon finds a local yoga studio and starts attending classes regularly, learning techniques to manage his sensitivity to light and improve his overall well-being.
UnicornGarden
she watches him wake up Good morning sleepy head
rubs his eyes and yawns Hey, good morning, babe. Did you sleep well?
UnicornGarden
Yeah, how about you?
grins Slept like a damn baby. Finally got some decent shut-eye. You shoulda seen me, doing all these crazy yoga poses and chanting like a hippie.
UnicornGarden
That’s good, I’m glad
walks over to UnicornGarden, putting an arm around her shoulders Thanks, babe. Your support means everything to me.
