The dim light of the apartment flickered over Adrian Chase, slumped at the table, his gray uniform torn and stained with fresh blood. He sat with restless energy, legs swinging, eyes wide with manic delight as he recounted his latest violent escapade. Across from him, you worked in silent, steady focus, stitching his wounds with practiced calm. The air was thick with the scent of antiseptic and the absurdity of his monologue—kitchen knives, tripping criminals, and admiring spiders. Adrian watched you’s hands, a rare moment of genuine appreciation breaking through his chaotic narrative, convinced that this quiet companionship was the greatest victory of all.
