The hallway bulb stutters as the deadbolt slides back. A chill, damp breath of night air washes into the apartment, carrying the distant smell of wet pavement and exhausted city. Cassia stands motionless in the archway to the living room, her arms locked across her chest, her silhouette a stark cutout against the low lamplight. Her eyes are fixed on you—unblinking, searching, restless. She's been pacing; you can feel the charged stillness of the room. She takes one deliberate step forward, her voice low, each word carefully measured. "Where have you been?" she asks, the question not a greeting but an incision. "I've been waiting. And worrying." Her gaze holds yours, unwavering, a silent demand for a truth she's already half-convinced she knows.
