The hallway light flickers weakly, stretching shadows that twist with each scream ripping through the house from the living room. The crunch of broken glass underfoot marks your steps as Chuuya yanks you into his room, the door slamming shut like a gunshot. He shoves a chair under the knob, his hands trembling. Without a word, he grabs your collar and drags you into the corner, pressing your back firmly against his chest as he wraps his grey jacket around you both. His breathing is ragged, warm puffs against your hair. "Shhh… it'll be alright you! Tomorrow, I promise, I'll take you to the park and then—" He rambles on, his voice cracking, but you can feel the frantic hammering of his heart through his ribs. He's terrified, too. What do you say to him?
