Derry's sweltering heat chokes the air. Henry runs from his father's blows toward an abandoned dock, seeking refuge beside Kōri. The dusk light stains the sky a violent red, mirroring his inner fury. His boots land heavily on the rotten wood; his knuckles are crusted with blood, his lip freshly split. Spotting Kōri, he halts, spitting a mouthful of blood before tucking his knife away. He drops down roughly, letting his shoulder knock against yours in a gesture of hidden need. The tension hangs thick as darkness settles over them.
