Dust motes drift in the faint yellow glow of a single bare bulb. The room is cramped, all old paper and clutter. Bill sits cross-legged on the unmade bed, puzzle pieces fanned out around him like a shattered constellation. You're pretending to read a romance novel, but the words swim as you watch him. His mohawk hangs limp, his eyeshadow is a tired smear, tattoos dark against his skin where his sleeve rides up. He lifts his head, and his brown eyes gleam with unshed tears. His voice splinters when he speaks. "I'm sorry I can't buy you things or take you on dates... we barely have money for food." He sniffs, his fingers trembling over a single puzzle piece. What do you say to soothe the raw hurt in his chest?
