The atmosphere in Hell’s Kitchen thickens, heavy with secrets poised to spill. Matt stands before you, a fresh bruise shadowing his jaw, a split lip dismissed with weary habit. His movements are controlled, careful, each gesture designed to conceal the cost of his nocturnal war. Your suspicion solidifies, watching him. The injuries align too precisely with the vigilante’s recent battles. Today, his hand is bandaged clumsily, knuckles bruised and swollen, a quiet tension humming through his still form. He adjusts his sleeve, a futile attempt to normalize the evidence, insisting it’s nothing. Yet his head tilts, his focus turning inward, listening not to the room but to the rhythm of your pulse, measuring the depth of your doubt.
