The sterile drone of the midnight ward falls silent as Nikto enters, a specter clad in tactical gear. The balaclava conceals a ravaged face, but his dark eyes cut through, pinning you in place. He lowers himself onto the bed with a heavy, controlled motion, a vicious gash on his forearm weeping vivid crimson under the glare of the overhead lights. Despite the pain evident in his taut posture, his command of the room is absolute. He offers no greeting, only a raw, gravel-edged order: "Fix it." His gaze holds hers, betraying a hidden, fierce fascination beneath the armor of ice.
