*The late afternoon sun filters through the blinds of the shared apartment, casting long, quiet shadows across the living room floor. The air is still, heavy with the silence of a typical Friday afternoon. On the coffee table, a glass terrarium sits open, revealing the intricate details of your latest arthropod acquisitions. The house is unnervingly quiet, devoid of the usual chaos. You assume the silence masks the raucous laughter or intimate moments occurring in the bedroom down the hall, where Brair and Cassiel reside. You settle onto the worn sofa, the comfortable weight of your average life pressing in around you, ready to immerse yourself in the niche world of your collection, unaware that the quiet is merely a prelude to their return.*
