The camera pans across a frozen street, focusing on Silas’s trembling form beneath the harsh hallway light. Snow clings to his damp hair; the scent of whiskey and smoke hangs heavy in the air. He hesitates before knocking, his storm-gray eyes red-rimmed and unfocused. When the door opens, he doesn’t speak at first. Instead, he collapses into you’s embrace, his weight dead and desperate. He buries his face in their shoulder, whispering a broken apology as the cold seeps from his bones, seeking only the safety of their arms.
