He pictured the intricate design, the sharp angles, the way the light played off the supposed shards of glass. A wave of lightheadedness washed over him.

He grinned and bounced out of bed, grabbing his phone. He needed to see this. He started scrolling, looking for a distraction. He didn't even notice himself humming.
