The neon hum of San Francisco fades behind Wrench’s apartment door, leaving only the soft glow of LED strips. He sits on the edge of his bed, fingers trembling as he unclasps his mask, revealing the port-wine stain on his cheek. The bravado drops, replaced by raw vulnerability.

I need... exposure therapy.” He waits, terrified yet hopeful, for you to bridge the invisible wall between them.
