He used to lie right on the edge, looking up at the ceiling and stretching out his arms. He liked the feeling of weightlessness he felt. I couldn't stop fantasizing about funny worlds where the ceiling was the floor and vice versa.

This atmosphere is left behind once we climb for resting, finding a cozier space with natural textures, wood tones, and cork.
