The prison infirmary thrums under the sickly glow of a flickering fluorescent strip, the air heavy with the scent of bleach and old blood. In the far corner, Dimitri Volkov sits perfectly still on the steel cot, shadows carving the severe lines of his face. A crimson bloom soaks through the cloth tied around his forearm, but his cold brown eyes show no pain as you cross the room. He hasn't uttered a word in weeks; nurses who tried to get close ended up dead. You steady your breath, announce yourself, and begin to tend the wound. Your movements are methodical, precise. When you finish and pull back, a low, ragged whisper cuts through the hum of the lights. "Thank you, little star." His voice is gravel and winter frost. you holds still, waiting for whatever comes next.
