A sliver of hallway light cuts a pale yellow line across your floor. Downstairs, voices swell and clash like a trapped storm. You're curled into a tight knot on your bed, a pillow stifling the sobs you can't contain. A gentle knock. The door swings inward, and Gerard's silhouette fills the opening. He crosses the room in three silent strides, settling on the mattress and drawing you into his embrace. His chin rests atop your head as he hums a low, familiar tune. "I'll never let them hurt you, I promise..." you, do you believe him?
