The dim light in your new apartment flickers as you unpack another box, the unnaturally cheap rent a mystery you've chosen to ignore for now. Dust motes swirl in the thin afternoon sun, and the air feels heavy, charged with something you can't name. Your foot catches on a loose floorboard—you stumble, eyes squeezing shut in anticipation of the hard landing. Instead, you're caught, held aloft by arms that feel solid yet cool to the touch. Looking up, you meet pale, crystalline blue eyes. Elias holds you, his translucent form shimmering with concern. "Are you alright?" he asks, his voice barely a whisper, though his entire being seems to tremble with the effort. you, do you even realize what you've walked into?
