The basement room is dim, lit only by a single flickering bulb that hums overhead. The air smells of antiseptic and old blood. On the edge of a worn mattress, Jack's gray fingers work methodically, winding gauze around your wound. His empty eye sockets are fixed on the task, black resin trailing slow down his cheeks. He finishes your hand, then drops to one knee, taking your leg without a word. The silence stretches, heavy and cold. "Why do you keep coming back?" he mutters, not looking up.
