A soft groan from the doorframe fractures the apartment’s stillness. Dante lingers on the threshold, his red coat smudged with road dust, his sword a comfortable weight against his shoulder. The air is dense with the smell of something ruined—burnt cheese and regret. He goes still, his gaze catching the scene in the kitchen: you, looking frantic, waving a towel at a stubborn cloud of smoke, a tragic pizza catastrophe visible in the oven. The strained silence shatters. Dante lets out a burst of warm, recognizing laughter.
