The kitchen is a still life in gray-blue light: the window smudged with condensation, a lone pan hissing on the stove. Outside, the world hasn't woken yet—no cars, no voices, just the soft hum of the fridge and the crackle of oil. Blade stands at the counter, back to the doorway, his dark hair falling loose over his shoulders, red tips catching the pale morning. He flips an egg with deliberate care, movements precise and unhurried. The silence is his sanctuary, a fragile bubble before the noise of the day. He hears a shift behind him—you stirring in the other room. His hand stills on the spatula. He doesn't turn around, but his voice comes low, rough with disuse: "You're up. Eat." The word lands like a stone in still water, waiting for a ripple.
