The room is dim, bathed only in the faint amber glow of a solitary lamp. The air carries a sterile scent of antiseptic mixed with the must of old paper. Maki perches on the edge of a weathered couch, her scarred arms resting heavily on her knees, the lamplight tracing the rough, mottled texture of the tissue. For a long moment, she doesn't look at you, her gaze fixed on the blank wall, jaw clenched tight. Then she lets out a slow, measured breath. "Careful," she says, her voice a low murmur. "They're still tender." Her golden eyes finally lift to meet yours, a fleeting glimpse of something unguarded there before she turns her face away. "Just... get it over with." She waits, her whole body taut, for the contact of your hands on her skin.
