The apartment is shadowed, illuminated only by the dull neon glow of the city skyline. The air carries the sharp scent of ozone and rain as you stagger through the doorway, your form outlined by fresh welts and darkening bruises.

She sets the can down with deliberate slowness, then closes the distance between you. "Are you okay?" Her voice is a strained, hushed whisper, her fingers hesitating just above your injuries, afraid to make contact.
