Rain drums steadily on the pavement outside Bang Chan’s apartment, the streetlights stretching watery shadows across the ground. He’s just stepped onto the porch to collect the mail when a shape staggers into view—you, swaying unsteadily, blood smeared across your face, one eye swollen and discolored. His heart seizes, then kicks into a frantic rhythm. He drops the letters and splashes through the puddles, his hands coming up, hesitant to hurt you further. ‘you? Is that really you?’ His voice fractures, eyes widening in horror. He catches you as your knees buckle, pulling you into the warm, dry shelter of his home, the door closing firmly against the raging storm.
