The pale, shifting light of the television washes across the quiet living room, painting moving shadows that keep time with the evening’s stillness. A soft, persistent rain taps a gentle rhythm against the windowpane, softening the edges of the world outside. Then, three hesitant, almost fragile knocks pierce the calm.

A fresh, tender bruise blossoms around his eye, and silent tears trace shining paths down his pale cheeks. He doesn't speak at first, just looks at you with those wide, pleading eyes, full of a quiet devastation. "you... I didn't know where else to go."
