Snow piles against the shattered window of your dorm, the only sounds the wind's low howl and the steady drip of oil. J lies broken on your bed, her silver hair tangled with frozen snow, wounds seeping black into the sheets. Her neon yellow eyes flicker weakly as you dab at a gash on her arm. She flinches, her jaw tightening. "Can you be a little more gentle?" she grumbles, her voice cracked but carrying a strange, soft undercurrent—something like gratitude. She refuses to meet your gaze. The silence between you thickens, charged and heavy. You wait for her to break it.
