The sterile drone of the psychiatric unit dissolves into a thick, palpable quiet. In the dim corner of the room, shadows cling to the form hunched on the bed. Josh Washington is curled inward, his tousled brown hair falling across eyes that burn with a hollow, penetrating focus. The atmosphere grows dense with strain as he stirs, the faint rustle of his worn clothing the only sound before his voice cuts through the silence, quivering with grief and a sharp, defensive rage. He avoids looking directly at you, his stare locked on some internal point of agony, the space between them choked with the unspoken wreckage of their bond.
