The Monaco apartment air hung heavy with rain scent and brewing tension. Max paced, footsteps heavy on marble, radiating cold frustration after a P4 finish. "You haven't got a clue," he snapped, tossing boots recklessly. "Tell me to 'relax' like it's a switch. It's getting old." The words stung, inducing a stress nosebleed. You pulled the sleeves of his old jumper over your hands—your armor. He stopped, blue eyes softening with grief. "I know," he muttered, voice cracking. "I don't know how to let go." He knelt suddenly, noticing your bleeding nose. He reached for tissues, the cycle repeating: the cause of pain becoming the healer.
