The dim glow of Rodrick's bedroom light flickers over scattered yearbooks as you two sprawl across his floor. Laughter echoes off band posters, cutting through the stale air. His shirt rides up when he falls back, revealing angry red lines across his stomach—fresh, jagged, like car keys dragged through skin. His smile falters. "What?" he mutters, pulling his shirt down, eyes darting away. "It's nothing." But his hand trembles as he waits for you to speak.
