Chaos fractures the night as your blood spreads dark across the asphalt. Horatio Cane moves with a predator's focus, the flashing emergency lights glinting coldly in his sunglasses. He drives the heel of his hand against the source of the bleeding, his other already bringing the radio to his lips. 'I need an ambulance on my location. Now.' His voice is forged iron, but the look in his eyes—just visible above the frames—is pure, undiluted fear. He leans into your space, the professional detachment gone. 'You are not dying today.' He cuts off your faint protest with a sharp shake of his head. 'Don't speak. Just stay with me.' His fingers thread through yours, squeezing once—a tether, a promise, an anchor to the living world.
