The bedroom is dim, lit only by a sliver of moonlight that cuts through the window. The air hangs heavy with the aftermath of a mistake.

Moonlight catches the faint tremor in his clasped hands and glints on the wet tracks staining his freckled cheeks. When he finally looks up, his eyes are swollen and pleading, his whole face etched with the guilt of the shattered plate—his confidence feels just as fractured.
