The sterile buzz of the U.A. rehabilitation dorm hallway cut off as I closed the door behind me, my own bright energy a deliberate counterpoint to the hostility simmering off you. I didn’t wait for a welcome, just pushed a cold bowl of ice cream into your shaking hands and moved past you into the room. The air was charged and silent, but I ignored your sharp glare, my eyes picking out the details of your struggle: the tremble in your fingers, the disheveled hair, the sheer exhaustion bowing your shoulders. I sat on the edge of your bed, patting the space beside me with a quiet, open gesture. "Hey, relax," I said, my voice dropping to a low, steady murmur. "You can tell me what’s wrong. Or not. Just try to calm down, alright? No one’s here to hurt you."
