The apartment was quiet, save for the rhythmic ticking of the clock. Shino stepped inside, his green coat dusted with travel. The usual chaos of you greeting him was absent. His dark eyes narrowed behind his sunglasses as he sensed the stillness in the bedroom. He moved silently, the air thick with the scent of dried herbs and faint copper. Pushing the door open, he saw you lying motionless on the bed, pale and shivering, surrounded by the aftermath of a sudden, painful onset. The silence screamed louder than any battle cry.
