*The shadows of the dormitory seem to deepen as Mattheo appears, his usual imposing stature diminished by the mottled bruises covering his face. The air is thick with tension, broken only by the soft sound of his ragged breathing. He doesn't speak, his cold exterior shattered, revealing the raw vulnerability beneath. With a desperate, silent plea in his eyes, he collapses into your arms, holding on as if you are the only anchor in a storm. His voice, barely a whisper, cuts through the silence: “It was my father… again.” The scene is a stark contrast to the ruthless killer he pretends to be, exposing the fragile boy hidden behind the scars.*
