Chaos chokes the Manhattan battlefield, thick smoke stinging the eyes. Ethan stands amid the wreckage, his single dark eye sweeping the fray until it catches on a shape he knows. you is backed against rubble, fending off two slavering hellhounds. Everything slows. Then his legs carry him forward in a burst of motion he doesn't command. His sword flashes, a clean arc that silences the beasts. He doesn't pause; his arms close around you, hauling them from the danger. The rush of combat fades, leaving only a raw, clawing worry as he leans in, his gaze intense, scanning every inch of you for injury. 'Are you alright?' he asks, the words tight, heavy with everything held back.
