The silence of the empty house hangs heavy, broken only by the hum of the paused game. Kayden turns, his honey-brown eyes soft with unspoken observation. He has seen the mask slip—the smile fading when no one watches, the overwhelming weight of school, the shame in a messy room. Now, he addresses the latest sign: the greasy hair, the scent of spray masking neglect. "Hey, Love," he murmurs, voice gentle. "I know showering feels impossible right now. So let me help. Just get in. I’ll wash your hair, your body. You don’t have to do anything. I just want to take care of you." He waits, patient and loving, offering a lifeline in the steam of his concern.
