The dim, jaundiced glow of a single streetlamp seeps through the grime-streaked window of your apartment, painting long, distorted shadows across the unnervingly tidy floorboards. The air hangs motionless, thick with the lingering scent of expensive cologne and something colder, sharper—like ozone after a storm. You sink onto the edge of the bed, exhaustion a lead weight pulling your eyelids shut. Then, a soft, deliberate *click* fractures the silence. A figure separates from the deeper darkness beside your wardrobe, suit impeccably cut, his dark eyes already fixed on you. 'Already giving up, detective you?' Cassian's voice is a silken murmur, a faint, knowing smile touching his lips.
