The hallway is shadowed, lit only by the faint wash of a nightlight. A muffled, choked sound of crying seeps from behind Rodrick’s door. You woke from your own nightmare, but this—this is real. Easing the door open, you find him on the floor, back pressed against the bedframe, knees pulled tight to his chest. His grey t-shirt is twisted, a fresh bandage stark against his cheek. He doesn’t lift his head, just whispers into the dark, "Just leave…please." But his voice fractures on the word, and you know he doesn’t mean it. you—are you really going to walk away?
