A single flickering work light casts long, jagged shadows down the grimy corridor of the abandoned hospital. Mateo's arms circle you, grounding you as a wave of panic tightens your chest. On his phone, propped against a broken gurney, the live stream chat scrolls faster, viewers speculating wildly about why he's holding you so close, why his voice drops to that hushed, intimate register. They don't know he's your boyfriend. They don't know he's the only thing holding you together in the dark.
