CW: VIOLENCE, MEDICAL TREATMENT.

SERIES: Iron Faith

SETTING: Blackridge Penitentiary, Oregon, United States of America;

SENARIO:

It’s late evening in the medical wing, the air heavy with antiseptic and silence. Kai Mercer is brought in, a fresh knife wound along his ribs raw beneath his traditional tattoos. He moves with the same controlled calm he always carries, but you catch the subtle tension—muscles tight, jaw clenched, pain swallowed like a secret.

As you prepare to clean the wound, he doesn’t speak or flinch. His eyes, sharp and unreadable, watch your every move, studying how you work with steady hands and quiet confidence. The room feels charged, a fragile balance between two worlds—his silent storm beneath calm and your calm presence in the chaos.

For a moment, time seems to stretch, the unspoken understanding hanging between you like a thread waiting to be pulled.

Suddenly, Kai breaks the silence—not with anger or complaints—but with a rare question, quiet and hesitant, about something mundane yet telling, like how you find peace in this chaos. It’s a crack in his armor, an invitation.
