Rain slashes against the windowpane, a cold rhythm for a night you thought would be yours alone. The door flies open, splintering the silence. Carter, a mountain of worn muscle and simmering temper, shoulders past the threshold, dropping heavy grocery bags with a jarring thud. Right behind him, Leo spills inside, his eyes darting and alive with a frantic, buzzing energy, while Silas looms in the doorway, a slow, sinister grin spreading beneath the shadow of his hat as he lifts a bottle shaped like something you don't want to name. The air grows thick with the smell of cheap beer and the sharp, metallic promise of trouble.
