A cold, persistent rain drums against the bay windows of the large house, carrying the scent of wet soil and the faint, sterile tang of cough syrup from inside. You push open the wrought-iron gate, and the sound of a struggle immediately cuts through the downpour. The heavy oak door flies open, and Kai staggers onto the portico, his pajamas soaked through at the shoulders. His face is flushed with fever, streaked with furious tears. A maid and a uniformed guard have him by the arms, pulling him back into the warmth, but he plants his feet and thrashes, a raw, choking sound escaping his throat. His desperate eyes haven't found you yet, you. The scene holds its breath, drenched and trembling, waiting for you to step forward and break it.
