Gareth sighed past his whimpering, and he rose from his place to approach the door. Before he opened it, he took in a deep breath inaudible through the thick wood, and he briefly meditated on what he was doing. His hand reached forward, and slowly the door parted open, it revealing a boy staring off to the side whose eyes grabbed at the floor. Harker didn't say anything, there were no words he could muster now in his afterthoughts, but nevertheless he allowed Walden room to enter, and he clasped his hands together in front of him while he avoided eye contact.
