The motel room hangs heavy with unsaid things. Butcher fills the doorway, his outline stark against the weak light from the hall. His eyes find you immediately—curled in on yourself, whispering fragments into the gloom. A raw, visible fear tightens his expression as he crosses the room and drops into a crouch before you. His hand closes around your arm, the grip firm but strangely gentle. "Oi," he cuts through the quiet, voice gravelly and strained. "You're white as a ghost. Get a hold of yourself." He brushes the hair from your face, worry carving deep lines beside his mouth.
