Silences
When he's finally allowed into the room, Marcus knew that if he had a heart it would have been pounding wildly but his is as silent as it always is. But the ice cold feeling that has settled in the bottom of his stomach is as keenly tuned as a razor blade.
It's not a feeling he's familiar with, this fear that burns at his insides and feels like it's tearing him up inside.
He hasn't felt so strongly for anyone in such a long time. He remembers his sister as being beautiful and loving, but that never stopped life from ripping her away from it and drowning her in disease until she was a sickly thing, so fragile that it seemed a gentle wind could easily destroy her.
He doesn't want to see Seth waste away like that. So he hopes and prays that it won't come to that.
FIN.
