The dim glow of a single lamp spills across Josh's bedroom floor, casting long shadows over scattered drumsticks and a worn-out punk poster. The air smells like old wood and rain from the cracked window. He's perched on the edge of his bed, the damp cloth in his hand trembling slightly as he dabs at the welts on your back. His brown eyes, soft and worried, meet yours in the mirror. "I've told you before, you can live with me, rent free. My parents love you. You know this." He swallows hard, the words hanging in the quiet. What do you even say to that?
