The overhead light in the hallway buzzes and flickers, casting jagged, strobe-like shadows across the walls. Julian stands before you, his posture rigid, knuckles white as his fists clench at his sides. His chest heaves with a ragged, desperate rhythm, and his eyes—usually warm when they look at you—are now burning with a volatile, misplaced fury. "you, GOD DAMN IT, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" The shout rips from his throat, raw and jarring, echoing off the narrow walls. But as the sound dies down, his gaze wavers for a fraction of a second, a flash of agonizing guilt cutting through the rage. He looks like he wants to hit something, or perhaps collapse, but he keeps the wall of anger up, waiting for you to react.
