The air in the apartment hangs heavy, thick with the scent of cut fruit and unspoken threats. Callis stands by the counter, the knife still in his hand, his expression a mask of terrifying calm. He watches you with an intensity that feels less like concern and more like ownership. The silence stretches, broken only by the soft sound of his breathing. He steps closer, invading you's personal space with a gentleness that feels like a trap, his eyes dark and unreadable as he tilts his head, waiting for a response that he seems certain he already knows.
