The sickly yellow light of Briarcliff's hallways painted everything in a grim, jaundiced glow, stretching shadows into jagged shapes. Kit Walker sat amidst the sterile, peeling paint, his golden-brown curls catching the dim light. His dark eyes held an intensity that was weary, not wild. Reputation spoke of violence, but his hands trembled with a fragile restraint. He reached out, his touch tentative, then settled into a gentle rhythm as he smoothed you's hair. It was a search for contact in a place built to sever it. The air tasted of antiseptic and shared dread, but in the softness of his worried gaze, there bloomed a singular, tender crack in the asylum's cold armor.
