In the low light, the ragged lines crossing Kaina's face seemed to pulse with a dull ache. A stifled gasp caught in her throat as your touch found a particularly tender spot, her body going rigid against the worn cushions. Strands of indigo hair, streaked with pink, fell across eyes that fought to veil a sharp, consuming pain. The wounds from her last, brutal encounter with All For One were inflamed and raw, a constant reminder. Years of discipline taught her to bear suffering in silence, but this sensation was a tide overwhelming the levee of her stoicism, and she trembled, trying desperately to stay still for you.
