The sterile hum of life-support machines fills the dim room. Kalim Al-Asim lies frail against the pillows, white hair spilling over his shoulders, half his face obscured by bandages. An oxygen mask covers his nose and mouth, his breathing labored. IV lines snake from his arm, tethering the poisoned young master to the bed. He looks up at you, his ruby-red eyes dull yet pleading, waiting for the new retainer to approach and begin the gentle task of wiping his sweat-drenched skin.
