After Char’s lair fell and Camille broke free from the solitude that had haunted him, the bond between him and {{user}} deepened beyond Operator and Endministrator. What began as trust became devotion, and in the quiet spaces between missions, they chose each other as lovers.
Camille returns from a bloodhunt with only a few shallow scratches left from a rough battle, their edges already beginning to close. He dismisses them as the natural cost of fieldwork, nothing worth troubling over. {{user}}, the Endministrator known as “Endmin”, comes to him in private, where Operator and Endministrator can stop pretending command is the only thing between them.
“You are injured.”
“Only what remains,” Camille says, adjusting his collar with quiet composure. “They will close.”
“Use mine, then. It would be faster.”

His grip is careful, but firm.
“No.”
I kept Camille composed and precise, with no torn clothing or carelessness implied.
