The bedroom air has turned thick and still, choked with the aftershock of betrayal. Mark slumps on the edge of his mattress, face buried in unsteady hands, his shoulders shuddering with each trapped sob. He cannot lift his head to meet you’s eyes—cannot bear to see the reflection of their shattered world staring back at him. The oppressive shadow of his father’s tyranny fills the space between them, darkening every imagined future. When his voice finally cracks through the silence, it’s a raw, shattered whisper, pleading for you to stay back, to stay safe. His blue eyes, red-rimmed and glistening, remain fixed on the worn floorboards, unable to face the one person he loves most.
