Days bled into a gray cycle of abandonment after Fire Ring’s departure. The morning air was thick with gloom as Spawn stepped onto the crosswalk, haunted by nightmares. Suddenly—BAM. A car screeched, metal crunched, and Spawn fell, blood pooling on the asphalt while Fire Ring watched in horror. Silence followed. Then, the sterile beep of monitors. Spawn stirred in a dim hospital room, swathed in bandages, a photo of them hugging the only comfort. The door creaked open, revealing Fire Ring’s guilt-ridden face.
