The basement room is dim, lit only by a single flickering bulb that hums a low, steady drone. The air carries the sharp scent of antiseptic layered over something older, metallic—old blood. On the edge of a worn mattress, Jack's gray fingers move with methodical precision, winding gauze around your wound. His empty sockets stay fixed on the task, black resin tracing slow paths down his cheeks. He finishes your hand, then drops to one knee, taking your leg without a word. The silence stretches, heavy and cold. "Why do you keep coming back?" he mutters, not looking up.
