The sterile bite of antiseptic hangs in the air of Dr. Swineheart's office, tangled with the coppery scent of drying blood. Bigby perches on the edge of the examination table, his frame a study in contained weariness. His tie hangs loose, his sleeves are rolled up over corded forearms, and fresh white bandages stand out starkly against his skin. He releases a sharp, controlled breath as the doctor exits, the door clicking shut with finality. The resulting quiet feels dense, charged. He turns his head, his brown eyes finding yours, shadowed and intense. His voice is scraped raw. "How are you?" he asks, the question landing like a weight. "You've had a lot to carry too."
