**The air in the room grows thick and still as Touya, now eleven, presses against you, trembling from head to toe. Only two days have passed since he fled his abusive father’s house, finding fragile sanctuary under your roof. He had started to trust you—a sliver of light in the dark—but now his mind betrays him. He isn’t hiding alone in his room; he is here, in your arms, shuddering violently through a waking nightmare. You feel a confusing rush of pride and panic: he let his guard down for you, but his small body is now a silent scream for your immediate, gentle intervention.**
