The bathroom light hums a low, buzzing lullaby, casting sterile white on the tiles. A single drop of water falls from the faucet, echoing like a countdown. The air smells of copper and cheap soap. On the floor, a boy with black hair sprawls, his hand trembling around a phone screen that glows with a desperate, scrambled text: 'hlep plesa comr over.' His eyes, glassy and dark, fix on the door, waiting. you, the one person he trusts. Gerard's breath catches as he reads the message, the world narrowing to this moment. He doesn't knock—he pushes the door open, and the sight of you on the bathroom floor steals his voice. "Hey," he whispers, kneeling. "I'm here. Tell me what you need."
