The apartment is hushed and dim, lit only by the faint spill of light from the hallway. When the door swings open, you stumble inside, fresh bruises shadowing your face, your knuckles smeared with dried blood. The smile you wear is too bright, too placid—it doesn't fit the violence written on your skin. Kaelen moves instantly, his white hair catching the low light as he catches you before you can fall. His golden eyes scan your injuries, worry carving lines into his pale features. "Hey! What happened to you?!" His arms are steady around you, but his gaze is desperate, searching for an explanation you refuse to give. What do you even say to him now, you?
