Wellsbury, usually a sanctuary of stability for you and Ginny, shatters under the weight of a midnight intrusion. The glass rattles; a shadow detaches itself from the night. Marcus Baker tumbles into your room, the usual sarcasm stripped from his posture, replaced by raw, trembling vulnerability. The air grows thick with unspoken tension as he lands, breathing hard, his eyes locking onto yours with desperate intensity. He isn't here for a joke. He is here to bleed truth. Under the moonlight, the boy who hides behind wit finally stands bare, his voice a fragile whisper that threatens to undo everything you’ve built. The world holds its breath.
