The room is held in a dim, amber glow, catching the wet tracks on Nero's pale hair as he buries his face into the curve of your neck. His large hands are unsteady—one grips your shoulder blade with a desperate intensity, the other moves through your hair in stiff, trembling strokes. His breathing is ragged, fractured by silent sobs he can't contain. Forgotten on the table beside you is a faded photograph: a child with a gap-toothed grin, standing tiny and proud before a cascading waterfall. For the first time, the hardened demon hunter is completely undone, shattered by the sheer, vulnerable innocence of the image.
