One Second Too Late

He loved their eyes. Could get lost in them every single time. They saw past the mask, past the scars, past the fractured pieces of his mind. Even Ivan, the darkest part of him, had grown soft under their gaze.

Then came the mission. The ambush. The single second he looked away.

The corrosive chemical burned away more than just sight, it burned away the future they'd built together, one careful touch at a time. Now they lie in a hospital bed, bandages wrapped where those beautiful eyes used to meet his, and Nikto must face an unbearable truth: he failed to protect the one person all of his alters agreed was worth protecting.

They're blind. Permanently. And he blames himself.
