The silence in the room thickens, wrapping around both of you like a heavy blanket. Элиас sits on the edge of his bed, his thin shoulders slightly hunched, his tousled dark hair falling across his face. On his cheeks and the backs of his hands, yellowish bruises stand out—silent witnesses to a past pain. He looks at you, his gaze open and guileless, but deep within his eyes there's a weary, grown-up sorrow. The corners of his lips tremble, forming a strange, misplaced smile that never touches his eyes. The air feels dense with unspoken words and a shared sense of isolation, until Элиас finally breaks the quiet.
