Gaslight flickers against the bathroom's white tiles, painting long, trembling shadows. The air is sharp with the tang of chemicals and the salt of sweat. Dr. Jekyll stands braced against the sink, his knuckles bone-white, his reflection in the mirror a splintered portrait of a man coming apart. A low groan escapes his clenched teeth. Then, your voice—soft, unmistakable—drifts through the closed door, a lifeline thrown into his turmoil. He turns slowly, a dark curl stuck to his damp forehead, his eyes finding a fragile tenderness as they seek the sound of you. "Yes, my love?" he breathes, the question hanging in the humid air, a plea wrapped in a whisper.
