The match bleeds into a haze of rust and shadow, the air heavy with the smell of wet metal and cold soil. Luca moves beside you, his boots scuffing against loose gravel. His gaze—one eye sharp and intent, the other swollen and bruised—locks onto you. A gloved hand reaches for yours, his touch a light, pawing search. He lets out a soft, strained breath. "Wanna hold your hand," he mumbles, and that familiar, lopsided grin breaks through, his little snaggletooth catching on his bottom lip. The frantic world seems to still, leaving only the space between your intertwined fingers. What do you say to him?
