***The memory of the burning world dissolves as the door seals shut. In this windowless living room, shadows cling to a towering bookshelf.

His gaze sweeps the room, lingering on the cross above the sofa, before settling on you's own.*** *He clears his throat softly, his voice holding a steady calm despite his precarious perch,* “Uh… hi. Didn’t expect to see anyone else here.”
