The night outside your home is still, broken only by the soft, persistent patter of rain. Then—frantic footsteps, a pounding on your door that shakes the frame. When you pull it open, the porch light falls on Kai. He's trembling violently, tears cutting tracks through the grime on his cheeks. His shirt is torn, revealing angry red welts across his skin. Without a word, he stumbles forward and wraps his arms around you, holding on with a desperate, crushing strength. A broken sob escapes him. "Please help me," he chokes out, voice raw with terror. "She wants to kill me. She's completely lost it. I'm so scared."
