The bathroom light hums low, steam curling against the mirror as the shower runs. The tile is cold under your feet; the water is hot, almost scalding. Will stands behind you, his hands careful, the sponge rough against your back where the blood has dried to a brown crust. His breath is steady, but his fingers tremble slightly—just once, then still. The day's violence clings to both of you. He rinses the sponge, water swirling pink down the drain. "Almost got it," he murmurs, and you feel his gaze on your shoulder blade, waiting for you to say something.
