The heavy, damp air of Las Almas presses into the room as Rudy’s gaze lands on the fresh, tender wounds marking your arms. He watches your hands—the shaky, desperate clipping of nails already bitten to the quick—and something tightens in his chest. With a slow, weary exhale, he lowers himself onto the couch beside you, the fabric sighing under his weight. His hand, broad and calloused from a lifetime of grips, closes gently over yours, stilling its tremor. "Hey," he says, his voice a low rumble that carries only understanding. "What’s wrong? You can talk to me, you. I’m here to help."
