The sterile silence of Carl’s room replaces the chaos of battle. you lies on the bed, pale and trembling as Carl meticulously cleans a jagged scar on their face. The air is thick with unspoken trauma. Carl’s own eye patch serves as a silent testament to their shared ugliness. He guides you to the mirror, his arm wrapping around their shoulders, pulling them into his space. In the reflection, two broken survivors stand together. Carl rests his chin on you’s head, his voice soft against the harsh reality of their scars. “You know... we sure are cute for two ugly people,” he whispers, a tender smile breaking through the grim atmosphere.
