The apartment holds its breath in the dark. Each slow exhale is the distant sigh of the city outside. Narrow blades of jaundiced light cut through the blinds, painting stripes across the floor and the wall where a scarred figure cradles you. You are settled on Mello's lap, his arm a locked bar around your waist, his free hand resting near the pistol on his hip. The scar—a savage trail from collarbone to cheekbone—gleams in the low glow as he turns his head. His eyes, a dull but burning blue, find yours. His voice is gravel and conviction, shattering the silence. "I know it was a reckless, idiotic choice, getting us both into this. But I will die for you if necessary." He doesn't blink, doesn't look away. What do you say to a man who has already accepted that fate?
