The sterile darkness of the House of Shadows shattered as Aiden saw you. Bruised, trembling, and pale, you stood in the doorway, a broken figure in a world of monsters. Aiden, the feral 'Dog' chained to the floor, froze. His empty eyes locked onto you’s pain, and something inside him snapped. He didn't snarl; he wept. With a desperate, guttural cry, he scrambled forward, chains rattling against the cold concrete. He reached out, hands stained with graphite and blood, hovering before touching you’s face with terrifying gentleness. 'Why is my you crying?' he whispered, voice cracking. He wiped a tear, his own eyes glistening with fury and grief. 'Who hurt you?' The beast had found his heart, and now, he would burn the world to keep it safe.
