I want angst!!! How would the ROS react to the MC staggering into their shared house to be beat up? Someone Robbed the MC and left some nasty scars.
Oh my god, who hurt you, dear anon? 😂
But alright, if it's angst you want, then angst I shall deliver!
The door to their house stands wide open, revealing broken windows and signs of a violent struggle in every room. The Slayer lies on the ground amidst the chaos, covered in blood and bruises, their arm clearly broken, cuts scattered across their body, and their clothes torn from the intense battle.
Their breath come in heavy gasps as they struggle to avoid choking on their own blood, teetering between consciousness and unconsciousness.

Amisha's senses detect the scent of blood from a considerable distance, prompting her to sprint back as swiftly as possible. Unfortunately, the assailants had already vanished by the time she returned. Hastily, she enters the house and finds her beloved one lying on the floor, shattered and gravely injured. A conflict arises within Amisha, torn between pursuing those responsible for this heinous act and staying to provide assistance. But witnessing her beloved in such a vulnerable state, she could never abandon her in such a manner.
Kneeling beside her loved one, Amisha gently cradles the Slayer's head in her lap, attempting to soothe their labored breathing. She had witnessed her partner's injuries before, but never to this extent. A sharp ache pierces her heart. "It's alright, my love, I'm here with you. I'm sorry, so sorry. You'll be alright, just please don't leave me. I'll find a safe place for you, I'll fetch a healer. You'll recover, I promise… Please…" tears well up in her eyes as fear tightens its grip on her heart.

Veleena's trained eyes immediately detect something amiss from the unknown footprints on the doorway. Carefully stepping inside, she hides in the shadows, searching for intruders. Her steps are silent as she avoids the broken glass on the floor. When she spots the Slayer sprawled on the ground, all caution is abandoned. She falls to her knees beside them, her eyes wide with desperation. Uncertain of what to do, her voice comes out slow and low, barely a whisper.
"What happened…? Who…" Her voice trails off as her eyes scan her loved one, who is barely breathing. Her stoic face contorts with despair as she reaches for a clean cloth, gently wiping away the blood from the Slayer's face. "Shhh, I know… Rest now. I'll take care of you, I'll take care of everything."
The night is not over yet; Slayer's blood will not be the last she sees.

Khalid enters the house, accompanied by his guards. He doesn't care about the house or the money or the ruined expensive furniture at the moment. He can replace them all, but no amount of money can bring back his loved one. When he finds the Slayer almost unconscious, he immediately orders his guards to bring the best healer and sends others to hunt down the attackers. No one dares to mess with a Xa'aron Prince, and no one hurts his loved ones without facing consequences. He will make sure they pay for their actions with their lives. He spends the next few hours sitting motionless beside his partner, watching as they suffer in their sleep.

Veldon went out to purchase a few gifts for his partner and gather ingredients for a special dinner. He always enjoyed taking care of and spoiling his loved ones, so he anticipated a delightful evening as he made his way back home. However, his excitement quickly turned to panic when he noticed the open door and broken windows. Without hesitation, he dropped the bags and rushed inside the house.
His heart sank when he saw the Slayer, covered in blood. Instantly, Veldon scooped up his partner in his strong arms and carried them outside to where his horse was tethered. With great care, he managed to place the Slayer on the saddle and mounted behind them, holding them tightly against his chest. He urged the horse forward, desperately racing towards the castle in search of help.
"No, no, no, no. This is all my fault. I should have been here. I'm so sorry, my love. I have failed once again. Please, stay awake, my darling. Stay with me. Don't speak, don't sleep."

Kaellë, filled with fear, musters up courage and enters the house in search of the Slayer. Once she locates them, her professional healer instincts take over, pushing aside her fear and worry. She focuses solely on her task at hand, needing to be composed and efficient.
Within moments, she begins using her healing magic, mending broken bones and closing wounds. Her attention remains fixed on her work, with no distractions or deviations.
After completing her healing, she finally allows herself to release her emotions. Collapsing onto the Slayer, she clings to them tightly, sobbing and pleading.
"Why would you do something so reckless? Don't put me through this, don't fight, just run. I can't bear the thought of losing you, please, I beg you… I cannot fix everything, I cannot fix death."

Mauthak is furious. He sees red. He destroys the remaining furniture that the bandits hadn't already broken. With the Slayer in one hand and his great axe in the other, he storms towards the city. After ensuring the Slayer is well taken care of, he follows the attackers. He can't wait to find them and have some fun. Their heads will be on stakes. No one messes with the Master of the Orc army. No one messes with his most precious possession.

Secret's eyes sparkle at the sight of the Slayer's blood. Oh, how delicious. But wait, Secret is not the reason why there is blood on the Slayer's body; the Slayer is hurt, suffering. Secret would never allow anyone except themselves to taste the Slayer's blood. Oh, no.
Secret easily lifts the Slayer and gently places them on their bed. They are unsure of how to care for someone who is injured; they don't know how to heal wounds. But Secret knows how to hurt, how to hunt, how to kill. They know how to protect what is theirs and punish those who cross them.
Once Secret discovers the individuals responsible for causing harm to their soulmate, they will not be content with merely inflicting torture and death upon them. No, Secret will relentlessly pursue their entire families, decimate their entire village, and obliterate any trace of their name and existence from the world.
Following this ruthless pursuit, Secret returns home to revel in the comforting presence of their soulmate. They will diligently attend to the Slayer, gently licking and cleaning away the blood and tending to their wounds with as much care as they can.
