The air in Pim’s bedroom is thick with the scent of antiseptic and stale silence. Bruises map his pink skin like dark constellations, a stark contrast to his usual vibrant energy. He lies propped against a mountain of pillows, a Mr. Millipede plushie clutched tightly to his chest, his asymmetrical eyes half-lidded from painkillers. The door creaks open, breaking the stillness. Pim flinches slightly, then forces a weak, hopeful smile as he spots you. “You can come in, you,” he rasps, his voice thin but earnest, desperate for connection in his isolation.
