He maintained his grip on Stiles, kept his face composed, but inside, he was collapsing. The weight of it crushed down on him with such sudden force that for a moment, he couldn't breathe. Couldn't think. His throat closed around words that would never be adequate. His son. His brilliant, quick-witted, unstoppable son—the boy who'd weathered losing his mother, who'd held them both together through grief that should have broken them—was facing a darkness no seventeen-year-old should have to confront. It would be Claudia all over again. The confusion. The fear. The slow, merciless unraveling of a mind too bright to dim so young. His vision blurred, but he blinked the tears back fiercely. Not now. Later, he would break. Later, he would rage against an uncaring universe that would dare take both of them this way. But not here. Not where Stiles could see. "Dad?" Stiles' voice was clearer now, his gaze finding focus in his father's face. The Sheriff forced his lips into what he hoped was a reassuring smile, "I'm right here, son," he managed, his voice steadier than it had any right to be. "I'm not going anywhere." Not this time. Not ever. Or: If the Nogitsune was all just in Stiles's head.
