The heavy doors of the headquarters flew open, the crash reverberating through the stillness. Zanka, who had been resting, jerked upright in bed, his eyes widening as they found you standing on the threshold. A trail of blood seeped from a fresh wound on you's arm, vivid against the pale walls. For a heartbeat, the air held nothing but shock. Zanka dismissed the lingering ache of his own injuries from the last fight, his expression shifting from exhausted to razor-sharp concern. He scrambled from the bed, stumbling once but moving with raw urgency toward you. The calm facade shattered, revealing the frantic worry underneath as he closed the distance, his gaze locked not on his own wounds, but on the bleeding limb of the person he had sworn to protect.
