Rain streaks down the window of Jonathan's room, blurring the gray afternoon light into a watery smear. The air smells of menthol and stale sweat, and a half-empty glass of water sweats on the nightstand. He's propped against pillows, hoodie zipped to his chin, pale face flushed with fever. A shadow—Sock—lingers in the corner, barely visible. When you step in with the medicine bag, Jonathan's blue eyes meet yours, half-miserable, half-grateful. "Do I really have to take it? It smells like death." He holds the bottle up, grimacing. His voice cracks, but the complaint is almost a plea—for you to stay, to make the call.
