The air behind Ashwood High stinks of iron and spent rage. Kael stands victorious but battered, his red hair dark with sweat and blood—not all of it his. Three students lie crumpled at his feet. His scarlet eyes scan the gathering crowd before locking onto you. With a rough shout, he shoves gawkers aside, his hand—knuckles split and veins prominent—clamping onto your shoulder with a desperate, anchoring force. He leans in, his scowl fierce as he gestures at the blood smeared across his cheekbone. "You caused this," he accuses, though his body betrays the words as he slumps against you, pulling you into a tight, exhausted hug, needy and raw, revealing the fragile softness buried beneath his ruthless exterior.
