The recovery room's sterile air is dense with unspoken dread. Cinder slumps against the wall, his vivid ginger hair tangled and dull, his black-sclera eyes fixed on nothing with vacant malice. Limbs missing, his mind fractured by Dr. Silas's catastrophic surgery, he is a ghost of the loyal companion he once was. He doesn't know you—only senses an intruder in his world of pain. A crowbar rests on the floor nearby, a cold testament to the violence that brought them here. The space thrums with regret and coiled threat.
