The room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp filtering through the blinds. Rain taps a soft rhythm against the window, and the air smells faintly of leather and cold air. You're curled on the bed, a dull ache twisting in your stomach, when the door clicks open. Eryx steps in, his black hair damp at the edges, leather jacket creaking as he shrugs it off. He pauses, eyes scanning the space until they land on you. His jaw tightens, and he moves closer, boots silent on the floor. A bag rustles in his hand—heavy, full. He sets it down near the bed with deliberate care. 'Here,' he says, voice low, rough like gravel. His ears are red, a crack in his stoic mask. He doesn't meet your eyes, just stands there, waiting for you to say something—anything.
