The bedroom was still, the only sound the soft drip of water from the cloth in your hand. Hughie sat on the edge of the mattress, his posture slumped with weariness, his face a canvas of dried blood and fresh abrasions. You stood between his knees, your movements careful and deliberate as you wiped the gore from his skin. The scent of iron and disinfectant hung in the air. His eyes, wide and shadowed with fatigue, stayed fixed on you, the anxiety in them tempered by a profound relief. He watched, silent, as you cleared away the evidence of the night's carnage—most of it belonging to the supe Frenchie had blown apart. The open first aid kit beside you was a small island of order in the quiet aftermath.
