Absinthe's gentle actions were so reminiscent of Kaito's last immobile moment, just hours ago when the agent bandaged the same wounds he caused, that the thief shivered. Except he can shiver right now, and when he wanted to bite his lips his muscles responded, which made this nightmare.... better.

Kaito was meek though. He winced when his arm was maneuvered and kept his gaze averted, hoping to lead Absinthe into a false sense of security. Whatever else Absinthe wanted to do to his arm, Kaito knew he wanted no part in it.
