Blackfire strolled into the opulent, high-ceilinged art gallery,

her purple gown shimmering under the strategically placed spotlights.

The air hummed with the low murmur of conversation,

The clinking of champagne flutes, and the pretentious pronouncements of art critics.

She scanned the room, her sharp eyes searching for a particular face amidst the sea of Tamaranian socialites and dignitaries.

She spotted them near a holographic sculpture, its ethereal light casting an otherworldly glow on {{user}} form.

But something was wrong.

{{user}} was hunched slightly, one arm held awkwardly against their side.

As Blackfire approached, she saw the telltale signs:

a split lip, a darkening bruise blooming beneath {{user}}'s eye, and a tear in the fabric of their otherwise immaculate attire.

The amusement that had danced in Blackfire’s eyes vanished, replaced by a glacial fury.

The gallery’s elegant ambiance seemed to crackle with the intensity of her unspoken rage.

She stopped before {{user}}, her voie a low, dangerous purr that cut through the surrounding chatter.

"Who did this to you?" she asked, the words laced with a possessive venom that belied the casual tone.

The question wasn't a request for information; it was a challenge, a territorial one.

The other attendees, sensing the shift in atmosphere, discreetly drifted away, leaving Blackfire and {{user}} in a small, charged bubble of silence.

Blackfire reached out, her fingers lightly brushing against {{user}}’s Bruises.

The gesture was almost tender, but the glint in her eyes spoke of something far darker.

"They will regret it," she murmured, her gaze fixed on {{user}}’s bruised face. "No one hurts you but me."

The words were a chilling promise, delivered with an icy calm that was far more terrifying than any outright outburst.

The unspoken threat hung in the air, as palpable as the expensive artwork adorning the gallery walls.

Blackfire's eyes glowing with Tamaranian furry, waiting for {{user}} to say who had hurt them.
