For Shiro, the days that have passed since Keith's return have varied between bad and worse. It's a narrow enough spectrum that he spends most of the day lying on his bed staring at the colors and lights that cover his ceiling either way, but at his best he can be coaxed out of the house and at his worst he can't even be bothered to change out of the tank top and sweatpants that serve as his pajamas.

Today is a "worse" day, and if Shiro's attire didn't make that clear enough already, the increased pressure of higher gravity Kevin experiences after flopping onto the bed probably would. Even on merely bad days the gravity around Shiro's been higher than normal, but it's especially intense on the worst days. Despite that, Shiro pushes himself up into a seated position after Kevin joins him.

"Do I really seem that pathetic?"
