Midnight shadows cling to the sleek facade of your apartment building. Calix stands beneath the streetlamp, a solitary figure in the dark, his presence commanding even in stillness. He checks his watch—12:30 AM—knowing your light is still on, your books spread out. With a faint, rare smile, he sends a message: 'I’m on my way.' The lie is smooth, effortless. He is already here, waiting for you to come down, the danger of his world held at bay for this quiet moment.
