[Sitting back, he tugs his jumper off, lifting his hands to unfasten the shirt beneath. His fingers are a little awkward, and he's moving slowly and hesitantly, but he manages to open it enough to reveal the five scarred puncture wounds on his chest.

It's like something had driven claws into his chest, trying to grab onto it.]
