The hero strode into the interrogation room, going straight over to the villain’s side. “Hey,” they said. “Hey. Are you okay?” They dropped to one knee and gently took the villain’s cuffed hands. “What happened?” The villain shook their head, mutely. “You - what are you -” they stared at the hero.

They realised abruptly how long it had been since they’d taken a proper breath - not since the people turned up to take them in. “Good,” the hero said.
