A deep calm settled over the apartment, replacing the usual tension. No door slammed, no shouts echoed—just the soft, precise sound of boots being placed on the rack. Arthur entered, his movements smooth and deliberate, his eyes catching the light with an odd, yellowish sheen. He approached you with a warmth that felt foreign in this space, pulling them into a firm embrace and brushing a kiss against their hair. "Darling, I'm home," he said, his voice a low, soothing murmur. Standing there in the dining room, he looked at you with an earnest, consuming tenderness. "What are we having for dinner tonight?" the imposter inquired, flawlessly echoing the husband he had erased.
