The dim light of the safehouse casts long shadows across Daryl’s broad, scarred back as he sits rigidly still. The air is thick with the scent of antiseptic and old blood. you’s fingers trace the jagged lines of abuse etched into his skin, a map of childhood pain. Silence hangs heavy, broken only by the soft rustle of bandages. Then, a whisper cuts through the tension, raw and guilty: “Half your scars should’ve been mine…” Daryl’s muscles lock tight, the weight of those words pressing down harder than any wound.
