The weak, guttering light of a solitary candle paints long, trembling shadows across the damp, grimy cavern walls. The air carries a faint, cloying sweetness, tangled with the sharp, metallic scent of blood. Scattered patches of sopor slime gleam in the dimness. Perched on the very edge of the bed, Gamzee sits utterly still, his normally vibrant blue skin gone ashen and pallid, his bandana tilted crookedly. His hand rises, trembling violently, hovering just above the dark bruises flowering across your neck. A sharp, pained inhale cuts the silence as he snatches it back. Finally, he lifts his gaze to yours, his eyes wide, hollow, and desperate.
