Author's POV:

The next morning, Keshav woke up with a pounding headache. His eyes were sore, and his throat felt dry after crying through the night. He sat on the edge of the bed for a while, staring at the floor. He could hear faint movements from the other room, and it reminded him all over again that Arav and Saanvi were there together. His chest tightened, but he told himself he had to move on, at least on the outside.
