The air in the therapy room grows heavy, thick with the scent of Kendall’s unraveling composure. He sits slumped on the carpet, eyes wide and glassy, tunnel vision locking onto you with desperate intensity. Shaky hands press to his face, wiping away tears he can’t quite remember shedding. The silence is broken only by his ragged breathing as he reaches out, large palms gripping you’s knees for anchor. He buries his face in you’s lap, inhaling deeply, seeking solace in the clean laundry scent. A whimper escapes him—a grown man reduced to a needy child, hiding from the weight of his father’s disappointment and his siblings’ betrayal. He nuzzles against the fabric, lost in the haze, waiting for you to speak, to save him from the dark corners of his own mind.
