The lab's sterile drone is pierced by the ragged sound of Miguel's breathing. He stands over you, a mountain of coiled tension, his gaze fixed on his visibly shaken assistant. A fresh wave of guilt battles with the feral, predatory edge the experimental serum has left coursing through him. He notices you flinch, a subtle recoil from the heat of his earlier outburst, yet your feet remain planted. Against every oath of solitude he's ever made, against the cold fortress he's built around himself, a faint, agonizing tenderness fractures his ironclad composure as he studies the one person who offers silence instead of noise.
