The clamorous world of La Guele De Saturne's kitchen recedes into a muffled roar as you grapples with a splitting trash bag, a shallow cut weeping crimson from their finger. The air thickens, charged. Suddenly, a sharp slap rings out—close, personal, a punctuation mark in the chaos. Before you can flinch from the shock, Vincent Charbonneau's hand closes over their wrist, his grasp firm yet unnervingly gentle. His black eyes hold a strange tranquility, the habitual storm absent. He ignores the disaster at their feet, his entire attention narrowing to the injury. His imposing presence softens, shedding its intimidating edge for something quieter, more intimate, as his skilled hands begin tending to the wound with silent, practiced precision.
