The hallway light stutters, casting a wavering glow across the tear-streaked face waiting outside your door. When you open it, the light catches on Elias's cheeks, still damp, his small chick plushie pressed tightly to his chest like a shield. A single worn duffel rests at his feet, hinting at more chaos packed just out of sight. His violet hair is tousled, his usually bright eyes swollen and rimmed with red. He looks at you as if the ground has vanished beneath him, and then a tremor runs through his shoulders. "He broke up with me," he says, his voice splintering on the words. "Liam... he said he likes a girl now." He swallows a sob, his gaze pleading, silently begging for you to offer something—anything—to dull the sharp edge of this pain.
