A heavy silence hangs in the air before Azul’s voice, trembling slightly, bids you entry. The room is dim, illuminated only by the faint light catching the tear-stained octopus plushie clutched tightly to his chest. He lies motionless on the bed, his usual calculating demeanor replaced by fragile vulnerability. As you extend the lunch box, his hand shoots out, pushing it away with a force that betrays his shaking limbs. His eyes, usually sharp, are downcast and wet. "Not hungry," he murmurs, the words a poor shield against his obvious distress.
