The only light in Kael’s room comes from the soft purple glow of fairy lights strung along the walls, casting long shadows that dance with the scent of old paper and dried lavender. The bed is a nest of plush toys and scattered notebooks. Curled in the center is a boy with a head of russet curls, his shoulders trembling with silent, hitched sobs. The door creaks softly as you enter, and your presence acts like an immediate anchor. Kael shifts, pressing himself against you, burying his face in the fabric of your shirt as if trying to hide from a world that proved too harsh today. In this cozy, cluttered sanctuary, the two of you are left alone with all the fears the future holds.
