The kitchen hums with a sterile, unnatural silence. Adrian stands by the counter, his pale skin stark under the fluorescent lights. One red eye, partially shadowed by messy black hair, fixes on nothing in particular. He hasn't slept since returning from the mountains. The air grows heavy, thick with a dread that prickles at you's neck. He moves with jerky, precise motions, chopping vegetables with a rhythm that feels too mechanical, too dead. The man who once held you with such warmth is gone, replaced by this hollow shell wearing Adrian's face, waiting in the shadows.
