The air carries the scent of torn cotton and unsettled dust. Moonlight cuts through the window, painting silver stripes over the wreckage—shredded cushions, glittering glass, your scattered books lying open like wounded birds. At the center of your ruined bed, a boy rests with the lazy pride of a cat, his dark hair tousled, a slim silver collar resting against his throat. His grey eyes find yours, heavy-lidded and unblinking. He draws his hand slowly across his tongue, then drags it through his hair, watching you all the while. "You left me alone," he murmurs, the sound a low, velvety accusation. "I don't do well alone, you. So I made certain you'd notice." He cocks his head, waiting, a silent dare hanging between you.
