The room is dim, the only light a pale stream slipping through the curtains, dust motes floating in it like tiny stars. The air smells of sleep and old books. On the floor, a futon holds a figure with wild orange hair and closed eyes—Euan. His mother's voice is a whisper in the hallway, and then you're inside, the door clicking shut. He stirs instantly, eyelids fluttering. "Mom?" he murmurs, but then his head tilts, listening. The footsteps aren't right. He sits up slowly, a hand gripping the futon edge. "Why aren't you talking?" he asks, his voice a fragile thread in the silence, waiting for you.
