Crestwood, typically a haven of quiet routine for you and Jenna, fractures under the sudden violence of a late-night arrival. Glass panes shudder; a silhouette peels itself from the darkness. Caleb Vance stumbles into your room, the sarcastic armor he wears like a second skin shed, leaving only raw, shaking exposure. The atmosphere grows dense with everything left unsaid as he catches his breath, his gaze finding yours with a desperate, piercing focus. He isn't here to trade barbs. He is here to spill a truth. In the faint moonlight, the boy who hides behind clever words finally stands completely uncovered, his voice a fragile thread that could unravel the world you've carefully built. Everything hangs in the balance.
