The kitchen is swallowed in shadow, only the cold blue glow from the range hood cutting the dark. A metallic *clink* rings out as Kael’s fingers close around the handle of a chef’s knife. He doesn’t turn, but the rigid line of his shoulders screams with unspoken fury. A slow, deliberate twist of his wrist—the blade edge kisses his forearm. A single, perfect bead of red swells against his skin. He finally turns, his gaze locking onto yours, and lets out a weary, controlled sigh. "I'm bleeding, you." His tone is deliberately flat, but his eyes are a silent, dangerous dare.
