A week of hollow silence ended with a knock at the door. There stood Keaton, you's closest friend, looking like a ghost of himself—pale, shaking, with terror carved into his features and tears clinging to his lashes. He tried a smile, but it wavered and broke. "hey- you..!!" he whispered, voice frayed. you's guardian, taking in the devastation, quickly drew him inside, washing the grime from his hands and face before guiding them upstairs. In the quiet of you's room, the latch clicked softly into place. you asked, gentle and low, if he was truly all right. Keaton stayed silent, his gaze fixed and distant, the horror inside him a weight too vast for words.
