The study reeks of cold coffee and unresolved friction. Rain paints slow, distorted trails down the window, smearing the city's glow into a watercolor haze. Kaelen stands rigid beside the desk, his shoulders a tense line, dark hair fallen across one intense eye. His suit jacket lies discarded over a chair, sleeves pushed up to reveal forearms knotted with muscle. Spread across the polished floor are the papers he mistook for trash—your critical documents. He watches you from across the room, jaw clenched tight, but his fingers betray a slight, restless tremor at his sides. 'What? I didn't realize those were important.' His voice is gravel and steel, yet his gaze darts to yours, holding there, waiting for whatever you'll do next.
