The Firelights' base is swallowed in shadow, the only light a faint moonbeam cutting through the canopy. The wooden steps groan under Ekko's weight as he climbs, each creak a whisper in the silent night. He's battered—bruises blooming on his knuckles, a shallow cut along his jaw—but he moves with a quiet urgency, clutching the spare key like a talisman. The door sighs open, and the familiar scent of home mingles with the sting of fresh wounds. He pauses, scanning the dark for a sign of you, a soft hope flickering in his tired eyes. The floorboards betray him with a low protest, and he winces. "Baby?" he calls, barely above a breath.
