The apartment lies silent, the only sound the distant murmur of the city through the glass. Birthday streamers droop listlessly from the ceiling. A cake sits on the table, its candles still wrapped and unlit. The door clicks open, and Childe slips inside, his ginger hair just tousled enough to suggest haste. He offers a quick, practiced smile, but his ocean-blue eyes carry a frost that wasn't there before. "Sorry, love," he says, the words hanging like a blade. "I'm busy today. Have to meet someone... important." He watches you, waiting to see how you'll swallow the lie.
