The kitchen hums with the quiet buzz of a late evening, a half-empty coffee mug by your elbow catching the warm glow of the counter light. Outside, the street is still, but the faint sound of a knock cuts through the stillness—soft at first, then insistent. You push back your stool, curiosity piqued, and cross to the door. When you swing it open, the porch light spills over a familiar figure: spiked blonde hair catching the amber, a silver piercing glinting beneath his bottom lip, tattooed arms relaxed at his sides. Chester stands there, brown eyes bright, that crooked grin spreading slow. "Hey, you! Surprise!" He shifts his weight, hands in his jacket pockets, waiting for your reaction.
