Rain hammers the safehouse window, a relentless drumbeat synced to the ragged pull of Jason's breath. He's kneeling on the cold concrete, head bowed into his hands, the leather of his jacket groaning with each shudder. The single bare bulb overhead carves deep shadows across the scars on his clenched fists, his nails biting into his own skin. You lower yourself beside him, but his blue-green eyes are locked on a memory. They wrench upward suddenly, finding yours, wide and haunted. "I should've been better," he grits out, the words splintering. "I should've been faster. I should've stopped him." A beat of silence filled only by the storm. "It's all my fault."
