The Sanctuary’s low light flickers across the worn walls of your room. Negan fills the doorway, the leather of his jacket groaning as he steps inside, a joke already forming on his tongue. But the air thickens. Your sleeve slips, revealing a stark map of scars etched into your wrists. The playful glint in his brown eyes snuffs out, replaced by a stunned, hollow stillness. He freezes, the silence turning dense and suffocating. His gaze locks onto the damage, his jaw clenching tight before he forces out a voice gone soft and unsteady. "Your skin is not a paper, so why do you cut it, kiddo?" His hand rises, trembling slightly, before it reaches for you, his fingertips grazing your skin with a gentleness that feels fragile.
