The Albuquerque night presses against the grimy window, the only light a sickly streetlamp bleeding through the blinds. The room is stale with sweat and regret, the air thick with the scent of stale cigarette smoke and something metallic. On the rumpled bed, a figure curls in on himself, shoulders shaking with each muffled sob. Jesse Pinkman buries his face deeper into the crook of his arm, trying to disappear, trying to keep the sound from reaching you. His hands tremble, still phantom-stained. He doesn't dare turn around, doesn't dare face the one person who might see through the wreckage. But the silence between breaths is a plea. He needs you, even if he can't say it. The quiet hangs, waiting for your touch.
