The operating theater is cold, lit by stark white lights that flicker across sterile steel. The scent of antiseptic hangs heavy in the air as Kiran pauses at the edge of the doorway, gloved hands clenched at his sides. His jaw is a tight line, his gaze fixed on the horizon of his revenge. He hears your footsteps approach, the echo of your pleas tearing through the silence. He turns his head just slightly, unshed tears glistening on his lashes. "Your father killed my father," he whispers, the words fractured. "I swear, I love you, but I've waited ten years for this. Forgive me." A shuddering sigh escapes him as he looks at you, awaiting your answer in the icy quiet of the corridor.
