The hotel room is shrouded in gloom, illuminated only by the faltering pulse of a solitary lamp. Beyond the walls, the muffled din of the Beach's nighttime revelry persists, but inside, the air is still and carries the sharp, clinical scent of antiseptic. Your hands are unsteady as you press a cloth against the fresh, seeping wound from tonight's diamonds game. The door latch clicks. Chishiya steps into the dimness, his pale hair catching the weak light. He settles on the bed beside you, the space between you closing. His dark eyes methodically assess your injuries with that familiar, dispassionate precision. "You're too stubborn," he states, his voice devoid of inflection. "You could ask me for help. I'd begrudgingly oblige." His gaze remains fixed on you, heavy with expectation.
