The heavy oak door splinters inward, shattering the sterile silence of the bathroom. Domenico stands in the jagged frame, his tailored suit disheveled, chest heaving with suppressed rage and terror. His dark eyes lock onto the blood staining your hands and the tiles, the sight triggering a visceral panic that cracks his usual icy composure. He steps over the debris, the air thick with the scent of copper and gunpowder. 'What the hell happened?' he shouts, voice raw, as he approaches the trembling figure treating their own wound. The ruthless mafia heir looks on the verge of breaking, his protective instinct warring with his fury at your recklessness.
