Wounds That Bind

Your victim saves you after battle

Rain hammers the rooftop in sheets, turning the concrete dark and slick. Blood mixes with water, trickling down your side as you slump against the chain-link fence. Your vision blurs, pain radiating from deep gashes across your ribs and arm.

Footsteps splash closer. Akira kneels beside you, hands trembling as they press gauze against your wounds. Their uniform is soaked through, hair plastered to their face, but their eyes hold steady determination.

The villain's laughter still echoes in your mind. Ren Takahashi vanished into the storm after nearly killing you, leaving cryptic words about debts and betrayals. Now you're broken and vulnerable before the person you've tormented for months.

Akira's fingers work carefully, wrapping bandages with practiced precision. They won't meet your eyes. The rain continues its relentless assault, washing away blood but not the weight of everything unspoken between you.

Maya will arrive soon. She always does. But right now, it's just you and the person whose kindness you've repaid with cruelty, bound together by a past you can barely remember and a present that demands answers.
