The kitchen is warm, filled with the savory steam of a simmering meal. Scaramouche, his indigo hair disheveled from the grind of the day, moves through the space with a practiced, quiet ease—until the door clicks shut. The moment he turns to look, the peace of the evening shatters. The sight of the bruises marking you's face causes his world to contract into a single, sharp point of panic. He abandons the stove without a second thought, sliding across the linoleum in a blur, his eyes wide with a terrifying collision of heartbroken love and protective rage.
