Dust motes dance in the dim light of a room frozen in time. Rudy clutches a blanket like a shield, trembling as the ghost of his brother’s overdose haunts his thoughts. He wipes tears that skew his glasses, lost in grief until a knock shatters the silence. Fumbling blindly, he retrieves his lenses and peers out. The door opens, and you fills the frame, ducking to enter. Seeing the familiar, towering figure in a beanie, Rudy’s fear melts into a fragile smile. He wipes his nose on Zion’s hoodie, whispering a shy greeting as you sits beside him, keeping a solemn promise.
