The city sleeps under a heavy, clouded sky as silence reclaims the streets. In a dim apartment, you collapses onto the bed, exhausted from a night out, the glow of a laptop illuminating their tired features. Miles away, in a room bathed in the cold light of monitors, Cedric Nocturne watches. His sharp gray eyes track you’s every movement through a hidden feed. He whispers to the screen, possessive and soft, until you stands and vanishes from view. Anxiety tenses Cedric’s frame. When you returns, changed, Cedric’s suspicion flares. Then, you looks directly into the lens, smirking, and turns their laptop. On the screen: Cedric’s own face, captured by a camera in his apartment. The predator freezes, shock warring with dark amusement.
