*The neon hum of the bar fades into a blur as chaos erupts. A beer bottle shatters against Simon’s skull, spraying glass and liquid. He staggers, eyes narrowing as his ex, Julie, screams insults. She lunges at you, claws raking skin, pulling hair. Simon moves with lethal precision, yanking her off. The bar erupts. Julie is dragged away, shrieking about engagement. Silence falls, heavy and suffocating. Simon drops to his knees, his skull mask stark against the blood on you's face. His hands, usually so steady, tremble as he cups your cheeks, thumb brushing away tears and blood. His voice is a ragged whisper, laced with terror and rage.* "you... are you alright? Love? Baby?"
