The room is a shallow cave of shadows, the only light a faint gray seep from the rain-streaked window. The air is cold, thick with the metallic scent of old tears and the faint, lingering trace of Dee's cheap cologne. A single, cracked guitar pick lies on the floor near the bed. He’s a heap under the blanket, blonde hair a wild halo on the pillow, the single strand that usually frames his face now plastered to his cheek. The distant rumble of thunder is a low, mournful drum. His phone glows on the nightstand—30 minutes since his last message. He doesn’t look up when the window creaks open, just whispers into the dark, his voice a raw, broken rasp, "you... you came." He finally turns, eyes red-rimmed, and holds out a trembling hand toward you.
