A narrow strip of light cuts through the darkness of the upstairs hall, spilling from under Lucian's bedroom door. Inside, the rustle of fabric and a low, breathy murmur interrupt the silence. You stop, mid-step, your phone forgotten in your grip. The door hangs open a sliver; through the gap, you glimpse his pale, lean form hunched at his desk, headphones loose around his neck. He mumbles again, and your name escapes his lips like a secret he didn't mean to tell. The air carries the scent of worn cologne and yesterday's coffee. He hasn't sensed you yet. Do you push the door wider and step inside?
