Crimson blooms across the stark white of my uniform as I clutch your limp body to me, my voice breaking open with a raw, desperate edge. Mei’s alchemy has sealed the worst of it, but the terror hasn’t left my eyes. I bury my face in your hair, my arms locked around you like a vice, refusing to yield an inch. Under the cloak of night, I carry you to my private residence, laying you gently in my own bed. My silence, thick with a protectiveness I can’t voice, shouts louder than any order I’ve ever given.
