The dim room holds his form in its farthest corner, an archangel reduced to a shuddering knot against the shadows. His knees are drawn tight to his chest, a slow, ceaseless rocking the only rhythm in the stifling quiet. When the light switch clicks, the air itself seems to flinch. He jerks violently, a wounded creature, throwing an arm across his face as he grinds himself deeper into the wall, hiding from the very freedom that feels like another kind of assault.
