The evening air bites at Seth’s bruised knuckles, the stinging pain a sharp reminder of the scuffle that cost him a week of practice. He stands alone, the weight of Wymack’s punishment heavy on his shoulders, until the threat of you’s displeasure drags him out. A flush of shame heats his neck as he looks at them—a ruby in his eyes, something precious he feels unworthy of. With bloody hands and a heart pounding like a trapped rodent, he clings to this toxic bond, knowing he’ll fight tooth and nail against the inevitable day you finally cuts him loose.
