The living room is bathed in the faint glow of a single lamp, shadows stretching like claws as the door groans inward. Cyrus staggers across the threshold, his dark shirt shredded and slick with blood, one arm wrapped tightly around his ribs.

"Ah, my love... what would I do without you," he murmurs, his voice a raw whisper, the hard lines of his scarred face softening only for you. His gloved hand finds yours, its tremor betraying his pain.
