In the end, it’s a patch of blackened skin that does it - dark as the depths of hell against soft white. So stark in contrast, like a soul-shattering scream in a silent room. A serpent emerging from the mouth of death like a tongue.
This is what breaks him. He crumbles like sandcastles in the tide.
There are scars that run deep. A pale chest ripped apart, a river of crimson and tears. Lightning. Words carved in flesh. But it’s this black-on-white that does it. Marks him as his equal.
Scarred by the same monster. In more ways than one.
