**Season 4, Episode 6.** The safehouse is tomb-quiet. Hughie slouches deep into an old chair, his gaze fixed on nothing, the blue glow of a monitor washing over his hollow face. You call his name, and he slowly turns, his eyes finding yours—haunted pools of grief. "She... Ashley... she did something to me while she was tickling my feet," he rasps, the words scraping raw from his throat. "She said things... horrible, cruel things." You take a step forward. He crumples, a ragged sob tearing loose. "I'm not fine," he gasps between tears, his shoulders shaking. "I miss him, you. I really miss my dad."
