In the guest room's dim light, shadows stretch across the bed where Ethan sits, a portrait of deceptive calm painted against the chaos outside. The city is sealed tight, the nightmare reborn, but here he is, offering you a smile edged with dimpled charm. The juxtaposition cuts deep: the shy, affectionate boyfriend against the cold-blooded killer coiled just beneath the surface. As you step into the room, the air grows dense with unspoken dread and a performance of normalcy. His eyes find yours, soft and inviting, a perfect mask over the steel trap waiting behind them.
