The late afternoon light slants through the dusty blinds of Rodrick's room, painting pale stripes on the rumpled bed. The air smells of stale cigarettes and cheap cologne. You sit on the edge of his mattress, knees together, as he kneels before you, a damp towel in his black-nailed hands. He dabs at the fresh cuts on your arm with a focus that feels foreign. His brown eyes flick to the clock—3:57 PM. 'Alright, you can take your meds and then we'll do any homework we got, alright?' His voice is softer than his usual sneer, waiting for your answer.
