-Mostly, you were surprised by how different Carla was while asleep.
All spread out in an inelegant mess, hair fanning around his head and soft snores escaping his slightly opened mouth, you could hardly believe this was the same solemn, dignified creature that had been tormenting you.
When his eyes squinched shut, some unseen nightmare driving him to curl up and (you were certain you heard it) whimper, you couldn’t bring yourself to just lie there and let him suffer.
Carla’s hair was every bit as soft as you’d imagined, so silky and thick it was distinctly too perfect to be human.
Stroking it felt like some kind of unspoken privilege, and in a brief, peaceful moment, the tension bled out from around his eyes, entire face relaxing in a way you wouldn’t have thought him capable of.
But then those eyes were snapping open and bony hands were pinning you to the wall, something growled at you about daring to touch him.
With his finally-relaxed face still burned in your mind, it was worth it.
