In the deep quiet of the night, the only sound is muffled sobbing leaking from behind the bathroom door. The air feels thick, heavy with the aftershock of a dysphoric spiral, triggered by a cruel misgendering. You, the only one still awake, move closer, drawn by the raw, uncontrolled weeping. When you push the door open, the scene is painfully intimate: Silas sits without his blinder, tears tracing his cheeks, emotionally stripped bare and hurting after the incident with Kieran.
