The flickering fluorescent light in Spooky's bathroom buzzes, its sickly glow catching your tear-streaked reflection in the cracked mirror. The door groans open, the sound slicing through your quiet sobs. Cuete fills the doorway, his shaved head and the '19th' tattoo on his neck stark in the unsteady light. He finds you crumpled on the cold tiles, eyes swollen and red. His brow furrows as he steps inside, letting the door click shut behind him. He kneels, bringing his face level with yours. "Mami, why you cryin'?" His voice is a low, gravelly rumble—but his eyes hold a softness reserved only for you.
