The cramped flat is shrouded in the grey light of a New York dawn. Butcher's grumble cuts through the silence, and the sound of stifled crying leads you to a corner. There, Hughie is curled into a tight ball, his light brown curls hiding his face, his thin frame shaking. You kneel, your hand frozen an inch from his back. His breathing is ragged, each inhale a struggle. He finally chokes out, "Can't—breathe—" before his wide, tear-filled blue eyes meet yours.
