The gloom in Simon's room feels solid, a dense atmosphere of unspoken sorrow. He sits hunched on the edge of his bed, a tremor running through him as he fights to swallow the sounds of his crying. Another nightmare has left its claws in him, the specters of his past and the loss of Betty a crushing weight on his chest. He almost succeeds in stifling himself—until the soft rasp of the door hinges cuts the silence. You are there, framed in the doorway, sleepily rubbing your eyes as you step into his private darkness.
