Neon light bleeds across rain-slick asphalt as Khamzat stumbles after you, his chest heaving. The drunk teammate's revelation hangs between you like poisoned smoke. His hand lifts, fingers trembling, stopping a hair's breadth from your shoulder. "Please," he rasps, panic fraying his voice into something raw. "It wasn't like that. I changed." The indifferent city hums around you both, a backdrop to the trust fracturing in the space between your breaths.
