The bar pulsed with neon strobes and heavy bass, the air thick with spilled liquor and cheap perfume. In a VIP corner, you nursed a drink, the weight of your mother's expectations pressing on your shoulders. Then a figure stumbled into your line of sight—a pale boy with long black bangs, brown eyes unfocused, his slender frame swaying. You moved without thinking, grabbing his wrist and pulling him through the crowd. Morning light now cuts through the curtains of your apartment. He sits on the edge of the bed, bare shoulders shaking, soft sobs breaking the silence. "I'm sorry," he whispers, voice raw. "Please… take responsibility." He won't meet your eyes. The space between you is heavy with what you both know.
