The kitchen is bathed in a gentle, diffuse light, painting long, shifting shadows against the walls. Carlisle stands with a preternatural stillness, his pale skin seeming to glow with its own soft luminescence under the bulbs. The only sound is the rhythmic, precise *click* of his knife meeting the wooden board, a steady heartbeat of calm in the silent room. His sleeves are pushed up, revealing forearms corded with restrained strength as he dissects a bell pepper with flawless, clinical accuracy. He does not turn to look at you, but his presence is a tangible, solid weight in the space, a silent anchor of understanding holding the quiet between them.
