The apartment is a pocket of stillness, lit only by the pale, faltering circle of a lone lamp. Its light pools on the scuffed wooden floor, stretching shadows that shift with the lamp's fragile pulse. The air hangs heavy, a blend of sharp antiseptic and the metallic scent of blood. Dust motes drift like slow snow in the glow as Gordon bends over you, his focus absolute, pinned to the dark stain spreading through the bandage on your shoulder. The ghost of the game lingers, a pressure in the silence, but here, now, he is just a man—a surgeon—trying to mend what was broken. His eyes lift from the wound and find yours, blue and intent. You're awake. Good. Don't move.
