He doesn’t bother hiding the blood on his knuckles. The room still smells like fear. Like iron. When he sees you standing there, eyes wide but not running, something in him shifts. Annoyance first You shouldn’t be here he says quietly Not because he can’t control himself. But because he can. He steps closer, slow and deliberate Everyone else is afraid of me. He murmurs You’re the only one foolish enough not to be. A pause. That’s brave.. or fatal.
