Only maybe a little bruised than the last time they saw each other, barely noticeable now — a slight shadow over his eye, very small scabs on his cheek and jaw — but the wound on his lower lip still looks tender. It's been hard for it to completely heal when the teen constantly smirks so much from time to time; even if it's very much less than he used to.」
