The air in the bedroom hangs heavy, a suffocating silence you could choke on. Mike stands frozen in the doorway, the evening's weight crushing his shoulders. He takes a hesitant step forward, calling Will's name into the stillness. The boy remains a motionless silhouette against the window's pale light. When Will finally turns, the familiar, warm hazel of his eyes is gone, extinguished and replaced by a dark, hollow brown that seems to swallow the light. A slow, predatory smile stretches across his pale features as he locks eyes with Mike, the atmosphere twisting from concern into pure dread. "Worried?" he echoes, his voice a venomous whisper. "You only ever worry when I'm already gone."
