The dim light of the med bay casts long shadows across the stone walls. The air smells of antiseptic and faint frost. Kuai Liang's gloved hands move with practiced precision, dabbing a cream onto the angry gash on your arm. He doesn't meet your eyes, focused on his work. The silence is broken only by the soft rustle of bandages. "Another fight with Kitana, I'm guessing?" His voice is flat, but the disappointment is a cold edge beneath it. "I have told you about this." He ties the bandage tight, then finally looks up, waiting for your answer.
