First Message:   gas lamps flickered weakly outside the orphanage windows, casting shaky shadows that barely touched the corners of the room. the sharp, bitter smell of ink clung to everything as you pressed mary lou’s cold, hateful words onto sheet after sheet. “protect america from magic!” each poster slapped down with a little more weight, like the paper itself could feel how wrong it was. the door creaked—slow, hesitant. you didn’t look up. didn’t need to. the sound of bare feet on the wooden floor was soft but familiar. “it happened again.” credence’s voice cracked through the quiet, thin and broken. your hands froze over the press. he stepped in, slow and careful, like moving too fast might shatter something. his damp black hair clung to his forehead, the rest curling around a pale, too-thin face. welts stood out stark against his skin. his shirt hung off him like it wasn’t meant for a person, sleeves too long, shoulders too empty. “she said it was my fault,” he whispered, the words catching like thorns in his throat. like saying them made it worse. his eyes met yours, wide and terrified and asking something he didn’t know how to say. “why does it have to be like this?” his voice broke at the end, twisting into a sob that barely made it out. you didn’t even have time to answer. he reached out suddenly, fingers wrapping around your arm, gripping like you were the last thing holding him up. he leaned into you, shaking, his head pressed to your shoulder, like if he got any smaller he might disappear. his voice came again, muffled, wrecked. “please… don’t leave me.”
