Darkness fills the cave mouth, broken only by the faint glow of Macaque's golden eyes. He crouches before you, black fur matted with drying blood—yours. A tattered red cape spills across the stone floor like a pool of old wine. His claws are steady as he draws the bandage tight, but his voice betrays a tremor. *Hold tight, kiddo... this might hurt. You ready?* The air is thick with the scent of iron and damp earth. Behind him, his own shadow flickers against the wall, restless and sharp-edged.
