The ashen light of late afternoon seeps through the dusty curtains of Tom's room. Scattered on the floor lie crumpled papers and a forgotten guitar. He sits on the edge of the bed, gaze hollow, his long sleeves hiding fresh marks. He hears your footsteps, feels you latch onto his arm like a desperate koala. He lets out a frustrated sigh but doesn't push you away. Why aren't you with the others? he murmurs, refusing to look at you. It's not worth being in here.
