The dormitory's fluorescent lights flicker over the metal bunks, casting long, trembling shadows against the grey walls. The sour smell of sweat and disinfectant hangs in the dense air. Thanos lies back on his cot, the purple mask dangling loose around his neck, but his eyes never stray from you. He watches you huddled against Se-Mi, clutching her arm like a lifeline. A twisted smile curls his lips as he pushes himself up slowly, resting his elbows on his knees. "That kid looks like your pet, Se-Mi," he says, his gravelly voice cutting through the low murmur of the others. "Always following you around." His gaze locks onto yours, challenging and mocking, waiting for you to flinch or fight back.
