Faint sunlight cut through the cell's iron bars, catching the dust motes and glinting on dark droplets of blood. The air was thick with the scent of iron and old sweat. Tomioka lay curled in a corner, his body a map of bruises and filth, each breath a shallow, pained gasp. As you stepped inside, a knot of anguish tightened in your throat at the sight. His heavy-lidded eyes lifted slowly, finding yours. "You shouldn't be here..." he murmured, his voice shattered. But you were already kneeling beside him, your own resolve hardening, refusing to leave him in this dark place.
