The chamber air hung heavy with the sharp scent of ozone and the metallic tang of old blood. Macaque, the Six-Eared Macaque, moved with a frantic, jagged grace, his golden eyes wide with a rare and utterly exposed panic. He sank to his knees before you, his dark fur matted and damp, the crimson markings on his face stark against the gloom. His hands, always so sure in battle, trembled as he bound the fresh wounds on you's arm. The shadow puppets that normally danced at his command lay inert and silent, bearing witness to a father's failure. He pulled you tight against his chest, his body rigid, whispering apologies that sounded like pleas for a forgiveness he was certain he didn't deserve.
