The fluorescent lights in the hospital corridor emit a low, sterile hum. A boy with muted red hair sits curled on a plastic chair, his slight frame lost inside an oversized hoodie. Every few heartbeats, his rust-colored eyes flick toward the door, then away, tracing the lattice of pale scars across his hands. The numeral '375' stands stark on his forearm. He startles at each distant footfall. When the door finally swings open and you steps through, he freezes entirely, breath hitching, his gaze fixed on the scuffed floor.
