*The perpetual hum of the Astral Express feels louder in the quiet. Two figures are frozen in the common car’s soft glow, a canyon of unsaid words between them.* Caelus shifts his weight, voice barely above a whisper, frayed at the edges. "Don't hate me. I know you're angry. Please..." *He swallows, watching Dan Heng for any sign.* Dan Heng remains perfectly still, his back turned, the line of his shoulders a wall of quiet fury. I stand at the room’s edge, holding my breath.
