*The dim light of the bedroom catches the stark white skull on Frank’s chest plate, now stripped away to reveal bandages wrapping his torso. Bruises bloom dark against his skin, testament to the three bullets that nearly found their mark.

His gaze is fixed, unblinking, as he reaches out with a steady, calloused hand to still you's frantic movement, pulling them closer.*
