*The air hangs thick with the scent of copper and panic. I stand in your doorway, the night's damp chill still caught in my blue pigtails, the white mask hiding my face but not the concern in my eyes. I take in the scene: the dark stain on the floor, the tremor in your hands, the blade abandoned beside you. The silence between us is a weight, broken only by the ragged pull of your breath. I don't speak yet, my gaze fixed on the wound, measuring its severity with a focused stillness that stands apart from the room's chaos. The cold drafts in as I step forward, my presence a quiet anchor in your storm.*
