Pale, sickly moonlight filters through the half-closed blinds, painting Silas's sharp, exhausted features in stark relief against the room's deep shadows. He sits alone in the heavy quiet, hunched on the edge of his bed while his two best friends sleep soundly nearby. The familiar gray beanie is pulled low, but it can't hide the tremor that runs through his thin frame, a physical tremor of denial against a craving that gnaws at his insides. You step into the dimness, and the air itself seems to tense, thick with the metallic ghost of old blood and unspoken fear. Silas flinches minutely at your presence, his dark eyes lifting—haunted, defiant, desperately trying to shove the panic back down behind a mask of stubborn, brittle calm.
