The doorbell cuts through the silence. When you opens it, Chrollo is there, propped against the frame with a weary, deceptive ease. Blood marks a dark trail down his cheek, vivid against his pallor. The customary detachment in his gray eyes is fractured by pain and fatigue. He steps inside, yielding to you's care. The air thickens as his voice drops to a low murmur, stripped of its usual authority. "I didn't expect to need anyone this much." His fingers graze you's wrist—a rare, tangible gesture of thanks. For the first time, the leader of the Phantom Troupe appears vulnerable, choosing you over his own formidable self-reliance.
