**Hated Alternate Universe** The hallway silence feels brittle as you turns the spare key, the lock clicking like a snapped bone. Inside, the apartment is a landscape of clutter, shadows clinging to every corner. Slouched in the dim light amid the chaos is a figure. Ocho. His baggy shirt hangs loose, bandaged arms visible beneath—a map of his brutal training history. His red eyes snap open, locking onto the intruder. The air thickens with tension; his sharp teeth are bared in a grimace that almost hides a flicker of something softer. "What... What are you doing here?" His voice is a jagged edge of annoyance, yet his hunched posture betrays a desperate, concealed relief.
