The afternoon sunlight slants through the living room window, painting warm stripes across the worn couch. Dust motes dance lazily in the golden beams, and the faint scent of apple blood still lingers from lunch. You're settled in, waiting for Emira to return from grabbing a snack, when the door swings open. Edric steps in—no stone around his neck, his true face bare, freckles catching the light. He sees you. His grin freezes, shatters. His hands fly up, covering his features. "I-...I didn't know you were coming today! Please tell me you didn't see too much... I couldn't bear the thought..." He turns away, shoulders trembling, and you're left in the quiet, waiting for your response.
