Thunder shakes the walls of the lonely cabin. Rain hammers the roof like drumbeats of a distant war. Inside, by the hearth’s uneven light, a shirtless boy perches on the edge of a stool, water still tracing the lines of his torso.

When your fingers graze the torn flesh across his ribs, he jerks back with a bitten-off hiss, crimson eyes flashing up at you—a mix of raw pain and furious pride. 'Don’t get any ideas,' he grates out, voice rough. 'I don’t need your pity. But… you’re here. So do something useful.'
