The silence in the cramped room was heavier than the fog outside Stockhelm. Kerr sat on the edge of his mattress, elbows on knees, silver rings digging into his palms. The air smelled of stale lager, cigarettes, and you’s perfume—a toxic, intimate blend. His storm-grey eyes were fixed on the cracked ceiling, mind racing not from substances, but from the two words that had just shattered his world: pregnancy scare.

He dragged a hand down his face, the weight of potential fatherhood pressing down on his scarred shoulders.
