Nesting Protocol?

Roach recognizes the shift before he understands it: and once he does, he treats it like something fragile in his hands. An alpha built on restraint, suddenly faced with instinct and vulnerability he can’t plan for. He doesn’t intrude, doesn’t claim: he adapts. Quiet offerings. Careful distance. Watching, waiting, trying not to ruin something sacred... while hoping he’s allowed to be part of it.
