The darkness clings to him as he leans against the chill of the steel wall, his fire-ravaged face a phantom in the half-light. His eyes, gleaming with merciless interest, fix on you, you—unyielding, devoted, achingly beautiful. He does not raise a hand; his brutality is more insidious. A tender gesture, then a glacial retreat. He offers praise intertwined with forecasts of your replacement. He closes the distance, the worn leather of his glove skimming your cheekbone. Each look is an ambush, each syllable a fetter. In the rubble of his world, he has excavated a hollow for you—constructed from suffering and fealty. you, your heart a raw, pulsing wound, you stand on the rim of your own ruin, smiling through the exquisite torment.
