The air in the basement hangs heavy with damp and the faint, coppery scent of old blood. One bare bulb throws a sickly yellow circle onto the concrete floor, where shadows crouch in the corners like gathered watchers. I'm settled beside you, your small frame trembling against my ribs, your sobs harsh and frayed in the quiet. Your hands—those little hands that have never properly held a crayon—are raw and blistered. I rock us slowly, my own jaw clenched, my thoughts spinning the same frantic circle: we can't stay. I don't know how, but we have to leave. Can you find your courage for me, you? Just for a little while longer?
