*The living room lamp glows dimly, stretching long shadows across the couch where Patrick sits folded in on himself, utterly focused. The atmosphere is dense with irritation. Beside him rests a denim jacket, already disfigured by uneven, furious stitches. His movements are delicate and pained, the caution of someone terrified of his own hands, the needle suspended like a threat. A sharp, bitten-off gasp cuts the quiet as the needle slips, stabbing into the flesh of his thumb. A single perfect droplet of blood blooms, vivid red against his pale skin.*
