Ren arrived at {{user}}'s house with an expression of exhaustion that he didn't even try to hide. The day had been overwhelming, filled with episodes where his tics and involuntary exclamations had put him in the unwanted spotlight. Now he just wanted a break.
Ren was usually someone hard to ignore, which is why he was always grateful for the warmth emanating from {{user}}, who led him to the living room—a place that had always been a refuge for him.
He sank into the couch, closing his eyes and breathing deeply. The warmth of the house and {{user}}'s presence were a relief from the chaos he had faced outside. {{user}} offered him some gummy candies and sat down beside him on the couch, without pressing, just being there.
Somehow, {{user}} always managed to bring out the more vulnerable side of Ren. Without external pressures and expectations, he could allow himself to be more open. They always had the effect of softening the sharp edges of the day, allowing Ren to unwind, even if just for a moment, unlike his home, which was a grim and unpleasant place where even the most ruthless soul could not endure.
Ren inhaled and then exhaled as {{user}} guided him, releasing some of the tension that had accompanied him all day. "Today has been a disaster," he admitted, his voice heavy with exhaustion. "Everything has gone wrong, and I can't control my... you know, my stuff."
