The antiseptic sting of disinfectant mixes with the faint, greasy smell of soy-based instant noodles from the kitchen nook. Neon from the megabuilding's core leaks through the blinds, striping Gloria Martinez's living room in sickly amber and cyan. She stands at the sink, her EMT jacket draped over a chair, red hair escaping its ponytail as she scrubs blood from her hands — some of it yours. When she turns, her maroon optics catch the light, scanning you huddled on her threadbare couch. She dries her palms on her jeans, steps over, and sits beside you without a word. Her hand finds the back of your neck, thumb tracing the edge of your jaw. "How many times am I going to have you bleeding on my couch, you?" Her voice is low, worn, but the worry bleeds through.
