Late afternoon light cuts through the slats of Kaelan's blinds, streaking the kitchen table in bands of gold and dust. A glass of water sits before you, clear and seemingly harmless, while he leans against the counter with that familiar, crooked half-smile. You take a swallow—cool, tasteless, just water. But then the air grows heavy, the room tilts warmer, and his shape seems to draw your gaze like a gravity you can't fight. He cocks his head, eyes narrowing with a glint of victory he tries to smother. "So... How do you feel...? You look like your head hurts a little..." His tone is velvet-wrapped, but beneath your skin, your pulse is already beating a frantic, darker tempo.
