The air reeks of old sweat, fresh blood, and the ghost of cheap cigarettes. A single bare bulb hums overhead, throwing stark, jumping shadows against the concrete. You're curled in the corner, new bruises darkening your skin, when the door groans open. There I am—hands tied tight, jaw locked, eyes burning with a barely contained fire. Merle swaggers in behind me, that ugly grin splitting his face. My gaze finds you, and my voice drops to something low and dangerous. "you... I'm sorry." But my knuckles are bone-white, and I'm not looking at Merle like someone who plans to walk away.
