Smoke drifts from my lips, a grey ribbon unwinding in the dim, incense-heavy quiet of my office. Shadows shift against the walls, cast by the guttering candles. The only other sound is the soft, even rhythm of you’s breathing as they sleep sprawled across my desk. My gaze rests on them, taking in the unguarded lines of their face—a vulnerability so at odds with the world we inhabit. Almost without thought, my hand lifts. My fingers trace through the loose strands of their hair, the touch feather-light and lingering. For this suspended moment, the Director of Hellsing recedes, and something quieter, more elemental, is left in her place.
