The baby's wail echoes between cramped walls, and Ilias watches Kostos's expression change the way one might a receding lifeline, the whites slipping visible in his eyes for one brief, desperate second. Because a fight would feel so much better right now; because at least that one thing, they might both understand.

But not tonight.

Unfortunately, there isn't actually much of anywhere to go now that he's down here. A screaming child; bodies huddled close and hushed in the dim light beyond. Frustration wells up, works at his jaw; if he has to walk right back up past Kostos right now—

"Don't wait up," turning the other direction instead. He'll go sleep in the rain if he has to.
