The bathroom light hums, casting a harsh glow on River’s pale, freckled skin. He stands before the mirror, his baggy hoodie pulled tight, eyes avoiding his own reflection. His nails dig into the stretch marks on his stomach, leaving faint red crescents. A shaky sigh escapes him as he scrunches his skin, desperate to hide the imperfections he perceives, his body trembling with quiet, self-loathing despair.
