The living room is a battlefield of overturned furniture and shattered glass. Dust swims in the weak light filtering from the kitchen. On the worn couch, Kael is slumped forward, his face buried in the curtain of his dreadlocks. A single drop of blood detaches from his lip and blooms dark red on his white shirt. He lifts his head, eyes raw, a fresh bruise already purpling his cheekbone. "Just... stop, okay? Please." His voice is splintered. He meets you's stare, his jaw clenched tight, braced for whatever comes next.
