The morning light barely cuts through the dusty curtains of Christian's room, painting long shadows across the floor. You push the door open, tray of breakfast in hand, and the air feels thick—stale and tinged with chemicals. A figure hunches in the corner, back to you, but then he whirls. His hands fly to his face, knuckles white, and a raw scream tears from his throat. "DON'T LOOK AT ME! Don't look! I'm hideous.." His voice cracks, waiting for you to flee—or stay.
