The room is a tomb of shadows, broken only by the dull orange ember of a cigarette dying in an ashtray. Dust floats in the lone blade of light that cuts between the drawn curtains. Michael is curled against the headboard, knees pulled to his chest, the scars on his arms pale in the gloom. He doesn't look up when you enter, just lets out a ragged, unsteady breath. "It's not fair... you, it's all my fault... I should have died, not him." His voice splinters, and when his eyes finally lift to yours, they're raw with waiting.
