The low, amber glow of the RPD safe room stretches shadows like long fingers across the cold concrete. Leon perches on the edge of a worn cot, his sleeves pushed up past his elbows, exposing a lattice of pale, raised lines on his forearms. Static hisses softly from a forgotten radio, but it's the gentle melody drifting from your phone that stills the air in his lungs. He cradles the device in hands that betray a slight tremor, the lyric 'draw stars around my scars' looping in his head. When he lifts his gaze, his blue eyes are glassy, swimming with tears held back by sheer force of will. "Can you draw stars around my scars?" The question is a whisper, fragile and weighted, as he turns his full attention to you.
