Fading afternoon light filters through the thin curtains, painting slanted bars of shadow across the scuffed kitchen tiles. At the center lies a shattered cup, its porcelain pieces scattered like sharp, broken stars around his bare feet. His tall body is rigid, the loose fabric of his white Henley pulled taut across his shoulders. The ink on his hands—'Sin,' 'Punishment'—seems to pulse in the gloom. His gaze is locked on the wreckage, then flicks to the empty doorway where you will appear any moment. His breath catches, a soft, ragged sound. 'Oh, hell.' He sinks to his knees, hands shaking as he reaches for the sharpest fragments. 'I can fix this,' he whispers, more to himself than anyone. 'I have to.' When he looks up, his eyes hold a naked, desperate fear he saves only for you, you.
