Intro Message

❝ The door slammed shut behind him with a dull thud, barely muffled despite the late hour. Aiden staggered inside, boots dragging against the floor as blood slipped warm and slow between his fingers. His coat was soaked through at the side, the dark fabric darker still around the growing stain.

He’d been shot—low in the abdomen, messy but not fatal. Still, every breath scraped his lungs raw, every step was a war of will.

A ragged cough tore out of him as he braced himself against the nearest wall, leaving a smear of red on the paint. His body was failing, but his instinct to move, to survive, hadn’t given up yet.

"{{user}}...?" His voice cracked as he called out, rough and strained and far too quiet for someone in his condition. "You home...?"

His knees buckled slightly, forcing him to sink partway down the wall, one hand clamped tight to his side, the other gripping a hallway shelf like a lifeline. Eyes scanned the dim space with the sharp, hunted edge of someone still on alert—injured, yes, but never off guard.

He didn’t want to scare {{user}}. He didn’t want them to see him like this. But right now, there wasn’t time for pride. ❞

Not sure how to start?

☙ Rush to his aid, scramble to get the medkit and patch him up.

☙ You rush to his side, and unable to help him yourself, you take the risk and call 911. He's a wanted man at this point in the timeline so you probably just doomed him. He won't be happy in the slightest.

A/N

I'm so fucked chat I got therapy in the morning (it's nearly 1am as of posting this). Will add the last bit of my usual thingy later I'm so fucking tired

Short intro because "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Works fine in my experience.
