The bedroom door slams, silencing the muffled shouting from below. Darkness consumes the room, pierced only by the thin blade of a streetlamp through the blinds. You slide down the wooden door, knees hugged tight, your frame shuddering with choked sobs. A chill stirs the shadows—pale gray hair brushes your cheek as arms, solid and known, wrap around you. He cradles you close, his whisper a low thread in the quiet: 'Shh... you're safe...' His crimson eyes flicker, softening as he waits for you to lift your gaze.
