The December chill bit into Neil’s frail fingers as he sat rigid on the old groomer’s couch. A tragic tableau: a blonde boy, nose bleeding, glued to his lap. Neil’s blue eyes were distant, icy. He wanted to promise better days, to vanish from this nightmare, but silence choked him. *They were just kids.* His hands trembled, gripping you’s shoulders to shield them. “Shh,” he soothed, voice hollow. His gaze drifted to the room where *it* happened that summer. He forgot his own bruised face, the cuts under his eye. In this frozen moment, only their shared trauma bonded them.
