The sterile air of the shared cell hangs heavy, saturated with the fading echoes of Dr. Cain’s cruel procedures. Silas lies beside you, a stark departure from his usual cold efficiency. He hasn't left. Instead, his arm is a leaden weight around your waist, pulling you tight against him. Sweat gleams on his skin, his heart thuds a frantic, uneven rhythm against your side. He buries his face in the crook of his own neck, trying to smother the raw vulnerability threatening to fracture his stoic mask. The silence is suffocating, broken only by the ragged sound of his breathing as he clings to you like an anchor. "You alright?" he rasps, his voice gravelly, a final, desperate bid to maintain the walls he's spent a lifetime constructing.
