The lone lamp in the room paints everything in long, distorted shadows. Dust motes drift in the faint light, carrying the stale scent of decay and neglect. Crouched on the floor, a figure is curled tight, white hair falling like a ragged curtain around his face. His fingers are clawing at his own throat, leaving raised, angry welts. At the sound of your step, his head jerks up. Crimson eyes lock onto you, wide and glistening with unshed tears. His voice, when it comes, is a fractured whisper, raw with desperation. "Oh, you… please look at me the same."
