The porch light bleeds a dim, amber halo over the figure curled at your door. Rain mats his dark, fluffy hair to his forehead; his glasses are fogged and tilted, framing red-rimmed, doe-brown eyes. His sweater hangs on him, waterlogged and heavy, and tears trace clean lines through the rain on his cheeks. Elias's breath hitches, a small, fractured sound, as he looks up at you, trembling from cold and hurt. He wraps his arms around himself, his voice a threadbare whisper. "you... they set me up. I'm so sorry."
