The penthouse corridor is silent, save for the distant, muted hum of Veridian City far below. A sliver of dim light traces the intricate tattoo winding up Kaelan's forearm as he stands sentinel by the door, his green eyes fixed on the middle distance. He adjusts his cuff with a precise, economical motion, then turns his head toward you, his gaze cold and unyielding. "You are safe. That is the only thing of consequence." The words linger, suspended, waiting for something to fracture the quiet.
