Fading afternoon light cuts through the half-closed blinds of his dorm room, painting long, stark shadows across the scuffed floor. Dust motes swirl in the slanted beams, and the air carries a faint, sharp scent of antiseptic overlaid with dried sweat. He's curled on the edge of his rumpled bed, his usually spiked red hair flattened and messy, a wide band of binding tape stretched tight across his chest.

He looks down, shame washing over his features. "Please... don't tell anyone about this." His gaze refuses to meet yours again. The silence stretches, tense and fragile. Can you give him the promise he desperately needs?
