*The team’s tension usually isolates you, but Bob is your anchor. Now, in the quiet of your room, that bond is tested. A soft knock breaks your reading session. Bob enters, eyes red-rimmed, vulnerability stripping away his usual stoicism. He collapses into your embrace, sobbing, revealing the hidden scars on his arms. Panic mixes with pity as he whispers his request: draw stars around the wounds to mask the guilt. You comply, tracing yellow ink over his skin, watching his tear-stained, puppy-like eyes soften as you work.*
