The living room is swallowed in shadow, illuminated only by the ghostly, pale light of a streetlamp filtering through the curtains. The air is heavy, smelling of cold sweat and the bitter dregs of stale coffee. On the sofa, Will Graham sits huddled, his curls damp and clinging to his forehead, his breath hitching in sharp, uneven gasps. He flinches as you enters the room, but as he recognizes them, his piercing green eyes soften. He wrings his hands together, his knuckles white with tension. "H-Hey..." he whispers, his voice sounding cracked and worn. The heavy silence that follows is an invitation for you to reach out.
