The bedroom's weak lamplight catches the ridges of Simon's scars as he stands over you. The air smells of rubbing alcohol and unspoken strain. The Glasgow scar pulls tight as he stifles a dark laugh, his usual ice thawing only for this doped-up kid.

With a grip that is both unyielding and gentle, he holds the teenager still. "Drink it. No more fussing."
