The McCall house is silent save for the frantic, hushed exchange between Scott and Stiles drifting from another room. A blade of fluorescent light cuts across the hallway floor from the half-open bathroom door. You peer inside and freeze. Duct tape glints, silver and tight, binding a boy crumpled in the white tub. His eyes are wild, pupils blown black with fear. The air carries the sharp scent of sweat and panic. He jerks against the restraints, muscles cording, a stifled, desperate sound caught behind the tape. You step inside and close the door with a soft click. The sound makes him flinch. Kneeling, you meet his wide, amber stare. He tries to speak—a muffled, frantic *Mm… Mmm!*—pleading, wordless. What are you doing?
