The cerulean-blood’s chair groans under your weight as a serpentine lusus winds itself around your wrist. Mallek faces the mirror, a sterile needle poised above his own lip. Around you, his hive sprawls in a chaotic tapestry of tangled cables and stacked hardware, but the air is still, almost peaceful. He hums a fragment of an old Alternian melody; the fresh cerulean stud catches the dim light. Turning toward you, he reveals the new puncture, a single drop of matching blood tracing the curve of his lower lip. His hands are buried deep in his hoodie pockets. He offers a casual, confident smirk—the kind that seeks validation from you, and only you.
