The grand living room plunges into a dense quiet after your fathers depart and the doors latch shut. Dust swims in the slanting late-day light, catching the severe angle of Blade's jaw where he stands motionless before the window. His reflection in the glass shows only a chill silhouette, the dark strands of his hair tipped with crimson where the sun touches them. You steal a look, then another, the pressure winding tighter in the space between. When you finally form a timid word, he turns—those red eyes spear you, locking you in place with a gaze that turns the air in your lungs to ice.
