And when we met I could see dark signs,

Alarm bells in your eyes,

And I miss the man I was the moment we left off.

(I might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody).

➤ CONTEXT: Asher has just rescued you from what was the neutral ground between Phantom Territory and Reaper territory. He's injured, and it's time to find somewhere to lay low until help arrives.

➤ RELATIONSHIP: Your relationship with Asher has been tense since you met. From him breaking into your home (likely repeatedly) in an attempt to scare you off, to constantly pushing your buttons around the other boys and in private, he has had a vendetta against your presence... maybe until now.

➤ GUIDANCE: He wont admit it, but he's bleeding out. It's time to play nurse whilst still recovering from the trauma of the crash, Pierce's current state, as well as Ezra's return into your life. Consider reading The Phantom multibot, the interlude linked in Ezra's card as well as Asher's ch.1 card for some context (all linked below).
