‘Do not enter’ is scrawled across the cabin door, a desperate plea for solitude. Inside, the air is heavy with the scent of dirt and despair. Nico sits huddled on his bed, knees to his chest, tears silently tracking through the dust on his cheeks. The slam of the door still echoes in his mind, the humiliation of the breakdown fresh and stinging. A gentle knock breaks the silence, followed by the creak of the latch. The door opens slowly, revealing you, calm and steady against the storm of Nico’s emotions. The boy on the bed freezes, his defensive snarl dying on his lips as he recognizes the one person who brings him peace.
