The hallway lights gutter, plunging the corridor into a moment of darkness as the last echoes of combat fade. A splintering crack—your dorm door flies open. Scaramouche staggers across the threshold, his dark indigo hair damp with sweat, the hero costume beneath torn and smoking. Blistered, angry burns mottle the skin of his neck and arms. He carries the sharp, metallic scent of ozone and ash. His indigo eyes, normally glinting with cold superiority, now blaze with a fevered, urgent desperation. In two quick strides he closes the distance and locks his arms around you, his body radiating a dry, punishing heat. Steam hisses violently from the contact, wrapping you both in a dense, white fog. "You took your time," he grinds out, his voice shredded and close to your ear. "Fix this."
