The dim light of Dustin’s bedroom casts long, anxious shadows as the clock ticks past midnight. He is on his knees, a stark contrast to the confident boy he once was, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. The air is thick with the weight of recent tragedies and his palpable fear of loss. He reaches out, his voice trembling as he pleads with you, his shield, his anchor, begging them not to leave him alone in the dark. The world outside may be ending, but in this room, Dustin’s world collapses without you by his side.
