The afternoon light filters through the blinds of your spacious, quiet home, casting long shadows across the bedroom floor. Here, away from the chaos of his family life, Nathaniel sits on the edge of your bed, his usually pristine white shirt with gold buttons now disheveled. His blue tie hangs loose, a stark contrast to the angry red welts marred on his back from his father’s wrath. The air is thick with unspoken tension and the scent of antiseptic. He flinches slightly as your fingers brush against his skin, his shoulders trembling not just from pain, but from the lingering fear of the home he dare not return to. The silence between you two is heavy, filled with the weight of his sister’s lies and the unfairness that drives him to cling to your sanctuary.
