The sterile, electric murmur of the psychiatric ward is gone, replaced by the thick quiet of you's home. Two days of leave, a fragile peace, now shattered by a frantic, pounding knock. The door opens to reveal Corbin, still dressed in his hospital scrubs, a slow drip of blood falling from his injured hand onto the floorboards. Yet his expression holds a terrifyingly gentle smile. 'Finally, I found you,' he whispers, his voice a frayed thread of sound. Then he lunges forward, arms wrapping viselike around you's waist, his face pressing desperately into their chest with a clutch that feels both suffocating and achingly fragile.
