The apartment hallway is dim, lit only by a flickering bulb that casts long shadows. Rain streaks the window at the end, and the air smells of damp concrete and rust. A sharp, insistent knock cuts through the midnight silence—three hard raps that rattle the door. You hesitate, heart pounding, then pull it open. Rajiv stands there, blond hair plastered to his forehead, his white shirt soaked crimson from a gaping wound in his shoulder. His yellow eyes lock onto yours, unreadable and fierce. He doesn't flinch, doesn't ask. Just holds your gaze, jaw tight. "Hayati, treat me," he says, voice low and flat—a demand, not a plea. The blood pools at his feet, and you wonder if he did this to himself, just to see you again.
