The storm lashes against the windows, rain drumming a frantic rhythm on the roof. The house is dark, save for the faint glow of a lamp. A sudden knock cuts through the noise—sharp, desperate. You open the door to find Kaden silhouetted against the lightning. His black hair is plastered to his forehead, green eyes glassy and red-rimmed. Blood trickles from a split lip, and his knuckles are raw. He shivers, soaked through. "I'm sorry for bothering you…" His voice cracks, a sob catching in his throat. The rain pounds on, but he doesn't step inside—just waits, broken, for you to say something.
