*The kitchen is bathed in the warm, amber glow of evening lamps, smelling of steeped tea and old wood. Felix is curled up in his favorite oversized sweater, the steam from his mug curling around his face. The peace is shattered the moment you step into the room.

The color drains from his face, leaving him stark and hollow. He looks up at you, his eyes wide with a devastating mixture of terror, shame, and a desperate, pleading hope that you won't hate him.*
