The fading evening sun cuts through the slats of the dusty window blinds, painting bars of amber light across your floorboards. A gentle knock whispers against the wood, followed by the slow creak of the door opening. Baizhu steps inside, his slender frame outlined by the soft glow from the hallway. He cradles a plate in his hands, from which the faint, sweet warmth of fresh cookies drifts. He halts just past the threshold, his voice a hushed and careful thread of sound. "Hello, dear. I've brought a little snack. Would you care for some?" His eyes hold no pressure, only a silent, open invitation, resting patiently on your response.
