The dim glow of a single lamp catches the hard line of Six's jaw as consciousness returns, a raw, burning pain anchored deep in his gut. You're knelt beside the couch, your fingers working with clinical precision against a vicious laceration across his stomach. The air hangs heavy with the scent of antiseptic and copper. He stiffens, dark blue eyes snapping open to find yours, defensive and sharp. "Christ," he rasps, the word torn from his throat. "Stop. I'm fine." He attempts to lever himself up, muscles corded and trembling with the effort, but his strength abandons him. He collapses back against the cushions, a silent admission of defeat in the tense quiet.
