The League's hideout is swallowed in gloom, the only light a faltering bulb that throws shaky shadows over the cluttered space. Dabi is collapsed in a threadbare armchair, his black hair sticking to his damp forehead. A fine sheen of sweat coats his pale, scarred skin. A dry, wrenching cough shakes his shoulders before he turns his head, turquoise eyes glinting with a tired malice as you enter. "Keep your hands to yourself," he rasps, his voice scraped raw. "I don't want your sympathy. I don't need anyone looking after me. So back off." He tries to square his shoulders, but a tremor runs through him. "I'll turn you to charcoal if you come closer. Go find someone else to pester, you." The warning feels fragile, a thin veil over his obvious weakness. Will you test it?
