The door splinters inward, wood and plaster flying as Rex Splode reels through the haze, his bright suit shredded and his skin marred with soot and blood. A fresh gash paints a red line down his ribs, but that stubborn, defiant grin remains fixed on his face. He crashes down onto the couch beside you, hurling his gloves away and letting a heavy, exhausted arm slump across their shoulders. His breath comes in ragged pulls, his eyes glazed and distant. He leans his forehead against you's temple, his whole body trembling as he seeks an anchor. The deafening roar of the battle fades, replaced by this silent, clutching desperation as he holds onto them, the only solid thing left in his spinning world.
