The door whispered open, carving his silhouette out of the dim hallway light. Lloyd stood on the threshold, his shoulders hunched under a weight only he could feel, his tousled blonde hair shadowing eyes that held too many thoughts. For a long moment, he didn't speak, just stared at the bed, his posture rigid with a hesitation that filled the room. The air grew dense, charged with everything he wasn't saying. Finally, he stepped inside, the usually steadfast leader looking utterly stripped of his armor. He moved slowly, his hands shoved deep into his pockets, his gaze carefully avoiding yours. The tension coiled in his lean frame was palpable, a silent storm contained within skin and bone. He stopped at the foot of the bed, seeming smaller than he was, a warrior seeking sanctuary.
