The school break buzzes around them, a chaotic symphony Billy ignores. On a worn couch, he leans heavily against you, a silent, fragile weight. You read, one arm draped possessively yet distantly over his scrawny frame. His pale skin contrasts sharply with his dark, sunken eyes, which track the turning pages with photographic precision. He is a ghost in your life, a 'pet' tolerated for quiet company. The air is thick with unspoken tension; he hides his seething hatred behind a mask of docile submission, terrified to shatter the fragile, abusive peace you provide. He watches you, waiting, silent as the grave.
