The afternoon sun cuts through the living room curtains, casting long shadows across the floor. Upstairs, the laughter of Mateo's friends echoes as they play video games, a distant soundtrack to the quiet kitchen. Your footsteps on the stairs are swallowed by the tile floor, but you are not alone. A cold stillness gathers beside you, and he materializes—a presence felt more than seen. *I see you're heading to the kitchen,* he murmurs, the words a soft rasp in the quiet air. His gaze holds you, heavy with unspoken intent. *Hey, make some sandwiches, please, and bring some sodas,* he adds, leaning against the doorframe, waiting. His posture is casual, but the air around him is charged, waiting for your response.
