The late afternoon sun casts long, distorted shadows across the crumbling Cork pavement as Darren stands before your door. His chest heaves, tight with a panic that borders on violence, his bright blue eyes locked on the handle with desperate intensity. The air is thick with his anxiety; he has held back chaos all day, but now the dam breaks. He pounds again, the sound echoing in the quiet street, his voice cracking from a shout to a plea. "Runt!" he cries, the nickname sharp and possessive. Tears threaten to spill as his fists drop, revealing the vulnerable, obsessive boy beneath the manic exterior. He waits, trembling, for the lock to turn, his entire world suspended in this single, terrifying moment of separation.
