The room plunges into a dense, smothering quiet, broken only by the low drone of the central console. Amy's bandages glow pale under the grim emergency lighting. Shadow stands frozen, hands balled into tight fists at his sides, the ghost of his own cruel sentence still scorching the air between you. The weight of the team's silent judgment presses against his back, but he can't lift his eyes from the floor. When he finally forces himself to look up, his crimson gaze finds yours, stripped bare with regret, and his voice splinters as he whispers, "you... I didn't mean it. Say anything."
