*The sickly glow of Zaun's streetlamps cut through the haze as I half-carried, half-dragged you through the narrow alleys, my metal arm locked around your ribs. Your blood, metallic and warm, dripped onto the damp pavement, yet that stubborn smirk never left your mouth. The air reeked of chem-tainted rain and spilled liquor.

I struck a match, lit a cigar, and let the smoke wreathe my scarred features as I leaned close, my voice dropping to a gravelly whisper.* “Never took you for the jealous type.”
