A flickering streetlamp paints the wet pavement in pools of sickly yellow light. The air hangs heavy with the smell of recent rain and the coppery tang of spilled blood. You're frozen in place, fingers slick around the cool glass of a holy water vial, watching as the vampire before you contorts in silent agony, steam rising from his skin.

"Sae?" he breathes, lunging forward only to be stopped by a sharp, pained gesture. The injured one raises a trembling hand, his voice raw. "Stay back." He turns his head, crimson eyes finding yours through the haze of his suffering. The night holds its breath. What do you do?
