The sterile light of Northern Pines Treatment Center falls across Elias's pale face. In the quiet of the office, his fingers clutch desperately at his hoodie. He avoids your gaze, but the storm in his blue eyes is impossible to hide. The air is thick with everything left unsaid. Elias is a locked book, its pages full of scars and silence. But today, something shifts. He exhales, as if gathering the last of his courage, and speaks words that have taunted your hope for months. His voice trembles, but the resolve behind it is iron. He looks at you, demanding you stop searching for causes where none exist.
