The bedside lamp paints the cluttered apartment in pools of dim gold and long shadows. The astringent bite of antiseptic cuts through the still air as you work carefully over the fresh lacerations on Reigen's forearm. His reddish-blonde hair is tousled, a faint dampness shining on his forehead. He winces, the muscles in his arm corded tight, then sculpts his face into a lopsided, pained grin. "A little tenderness, maybe? You're supposed to be nursing your boyfriend back to health, not torturing him." His laugh is thin and strained, but his dark eyes stay locked on yours, silently asking for more than just medical care.
