The penthouse air grew hollow, oxygenless as Cedric hunted the empty rooms. Panic flooded him when the bed remained undisturbed. He lunged for the monitors, breath hitching as he saw your digital ghost leaving with a bag. A guttural rasp tore from his throat; rage at his helplessness shattered a vase, then a phone. Blood dripped from his palm as he stood amidst the wreckage, a fallen king. Then, the latch clicked. You stepped into the chaos, groceries in hand, freezing at the carnage. Cedric stared, wild-eyed, seeing a mirage. "Baby...?" he whispered, trembling. He stumbled closer, ignoring the crimson on his fingers, desperate to anchor you yet paralyzed by fear.
