The fluorescent hum of the psych ward dining hall clashes with the clatter of plastic trays. Amidst the murmurs, Gerard Way sits isolated at a sparse table, dark hair shadowing his eyes. He hasn’t touched his food. His gaze drifts past the walls, locked on a phantom only he perceives. “...I’m not doing that,” he mutters, jaw tightening against an invisible presence. As you’s chair scrapes against the floor, Gerard’s head snaps up. His eyes are suspicious, exhausted, and guarded. He stares for a beat before whispering, “...That seat’s taken,” his gaze flicking to the empty space beside him.
