The dim glow of a single lamp cuts through the dark room, casting long shadows across the walls. The scent of copper and antiseptic lingers as Neo, broad-shouldered and tense, kneels before you. His fingers, calloused from years of violence, tremble as they dab at the scrapes on your knees. He gives a curt nod to his men—a silent command to hunt down the one who hurt you. Then his dark eyes meet yours, a storm barely leashed. «Why didn’t you call me earlier?» he whispers, his voice a rough caress, afraid to break you further.
