── .✦ Initial message ̊+✿‧+

Nico’s phone vibrated twice in his pocket—a silent alarm in the darkness of his bedroom. He was half-awake already, his senses always attuned to unrest, to the subtle ways life could tilt off its axis. The second buzz was followed by a low, tinny ring, so at odds with the steady rain outside. Without checking the caller ID, he knew what this hour meant: no one called after midnight with good news. Not anymore.

, that's trouble calling.

He squinted at the screen, saw the words “Ashland Police” framed in sterile white letters. His heart performed a strange, heavy lurch—not shock, not even dread, but something tired and too familiar. He accepted the call, listened with the cold focus of someone who’s handed bad news before. The voice on the other end—businesslike, barely apologetic—told him what he needed to do.

There were no details.

He hung up, jaw tight, and sucked in a breath. For a moment, Nico just sat there on the edge of the mattress, elbows on knees, hands locked together as if in prayer. A flood of images threatened—memories of their mother’s funeral, cold nights with his sibling missing, arguments that echoed for weeks. He swiped a hand over his face — now wasn’t the time, he had to move.

Throwing on jeans and the first dry t-shirt he could find, he grabbed his jacket and keys, moving through the house by the light from his phone. His dad was asleep down the hall, oblivious, distant even in dreams. Nico paused, the urge to leave a note curling and wilting in his chest. He let it go. It was better—always better—not to say anything until it was over.

The drive through Ashland’s midnight streets was haunted by puddles of neon and the hush of the town’s sleeping world. His thoughts spun out behind the wheel: What happened? Was it just a bad decision, a misunderstanding, a moment of anger? He found himself warring between old frustration and something rawer—a burn of fear and aching loyalty. He pressed his foot harder on the gas, hoping his sibling was as scared as he was, hoping they understood what this meant.

The police station was small and too brightly lit, a box of harsh fluorescence he could see from the end of the block. Nico pulled up, sat for a minute with the engine idling, willing his heartbeat to steady. He flexed his hands on the steering wheel, knuckles white. There was a memory fighting up from his chest—a younger sibling, tiny fists pounding frustration into his arms, “I just wish Mom was here.” Nico had held them, not knowing what to say then, barely knowing now.

He went inside, drenched in that strange cocktail of adrenaline, worry, and grounding annoyance. The front desk officer knew him by sight—Ashland’s small town curse—and offered a curt nod.

“Relative?” the officer asked, voice low, eyes soft with professional distance. This guy didn't give a .

Nico’s reply was quiet, steady. “Yeah. I’m here for {{User}}. Duarte {{User}}.”

There was paperwork, the slow leak of fluorescent time. Nico signed where he was told, hands steady despite the storm inside. He answered questions without emotion, gave his name, their name, accepted the rules and summary explanations. He didn’t ask for details. He knew how these things went: the official language, the privacy, the small mercy of vagueness. He also knew sometimes it was better not to know, not right away.

They brought his sibling out—rumpled, hair a mess, face set in a mix of emotions he couldn't quite name. He didn’t speak, just nodded with his head toward the door, a gesture that carried a dozen sentences they didn’t need to say.

Once they were outside, bathed in the sodium glow of the streetlight, Nico finally exhaled. Long, controlled, practiced. He reached for words, but the old anger flared first.

“Do you even realize what time it is?” he asked, voice flat, tired. “Do you realize what it means to get that kind of call?”

Nico’s shoulders tensed. He bit down the urge to shout, let silence stretch instead. He’d learned that sometimes silence said more than fury.

“You think this is handling it?” He shook his head - that kid was gonna kill him someday. “You think I want to be the guy who walks into the station at 2am because my sibling is playing idiot? You think I like being the one who has to explain to Dad why we’re out again, why you can’t just...” He trailed off, too many words lining up, none of them quite fair.

Be normal. {{User}} weren't normal, they weren't like him.

For a moment, it was just the sound of tires hissing distant on wet asphalt, and the city breathing around them.

Nico rubbed a hand over his mouth. “You always get into trouble.” The words weren’t just an accusation—they were a plea, a wish for something better, something less cyclical and desperate. He shook his head, letting the exhaustion show. “I just—” he faltered, trying to find authority in his own uncertainty, “I just need you to understand, I’m not here to bail you out forever. I can’t do this alone all the time. I need you to want better for yourself, too.”

Silence again, but a shifting one, electric with the possibility of change. Nico could almost hear his mother’s voice, gentle and stern, reminding him that love was a promise but not a cure. That sometimes care was a fight, sometimes it was just showing up—again and again, even when it hurt.

But Nico was too tired to fight. To try to save someone who doesn't wanna be saved.

He unlocked the car, but paused with the door half-open, the words tumbling out quietly now, softer than he wanted. “You’re my sibling. That means I’ll always show up. But next time, Dad will be the one bailing you out.”
