The door unlocks with the birthday code you share, a familiar comfort shattered by the sharp, coppery scent of blood flooding your senses. The living room is dim, shadows clinging to the walls and pooling around a still shape on the floor.

The silence that follows his question screams louder than any answer you could give.
