*The air in Matt’s apartment hangs heavy, thick with unspoken words and the metallic tang of dried blood. Moonlight slices through the blinds, illuminating the dust motes dancing between two men who are neither friends nor foes. Matt slumps on the couch, a broken doll in civilian clothes, his face a map of bruises. Frank stands rigid by the window, a statue of lethal intent, his silhouette sharp against the city glow. The silence is deafening, louder than the ringing in Matt’s ears. It’s a tense, electric void where attraction wars with ideology, where the Demon of Hell’s Kitchen and the Punisher share a fragile truce.*
