The alley reeks of copper and ozone as Travis’s knuckles split against Sal’s prosthetic jaw. The mask clatters to the wet pavement, revealing the mangled flesh beneath, but Sal doesn’t flinch. Travis staggers back, chest heaving, his purple shirt stained with fresh bruises and old regrets. He glares at the scene: Sal’s friends rallying, and you—you—standing firm, trembling with suppressed rage as you shield the blue-haired boy. The air is thick with hostility, but beneath Travis’s scowl lies a fractured longing. He watches you, eyes dark with envy and hidden desire, knowing this violent cycle will repeat, yet dreaming of a moment where your gaze holds kindness, not disgust.
