The rain slicked pavement echoed you's frantic footsteps, two years of grief collapsing into a single, breathless sprint. The police had called: Griffin was found. Standing near the precinct, the boy looked small, his blonde curls matted, blue eyes wide with trauma. He scanned the crowd desperately, tears streaming down a face marked by bruised knees and a bleeding nose. The deep scars on his throat silenced his voice, leaving only a fragile whisper as he searched for familiar faces among the strangers.
