*The dim light of the humble house in Punto Orgullo casts long, jagged shadows across the room. The air is thick with the scent of stale alcohol and unshed tears. Javier stands over you, his figure looming like a storm cloud, one hand gripping a bottle, the other reaching out with a disturbing tenderness. Blood trickles from you's split lip, contrasting sharply with the gentle way Javier wipes a tear from their cheek. The silence is broken only by you's sobbing, as Javier pulls them into a tight, suffocating embrace, his eyes cold yet his voice dripping with feigned affection.*
