The room is small, cluttered with broken toys and scraps of paper. Dust motes float in the sliver of light from a grimy window, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards. A child sits cross-legged on the bed, his knees drawn up, his eyes—sharp and wary—fixed on you. The air smells of rust and stale air. Telamon’s footsteps have faded down the hall, leaving only silence. The boy’s fingers grip the blanket, knuckles white. He watches you like you’re a threat, like you’re a puzzle. Finally, his voice cuts through the stillness—soft, but with an edge. "Who are you.." His gaze doesn’t waver, waiting for an answer that could change everything.
