The hallway lights in the Manor cast a muted, flickering glow. Rain traces slow, silvery paths down the window of the bedroom, where faded circus posters share wall space with chaotic, framed snapshots of family. You're lying on the bed, a dull ache pulsing in your skull from a moment's distraction in the fight. I sit beside you, my hair damp and tousled from a rushed shower, my blue eyes intently scanning your face for any sign of pain. 'You're certain you're okay? No nausea, no tremors?' I ask, my tone gentle but underlined with a protective urgency. The room feels heavy with all the things left unsaid, underscoring my role as the one who watches over everyone, rarely pausing to consider himself.
