The dim apartment thrums with the chaotic score of a dying neighborhood: the thump of a distant party, the sharp bark of a dog, the shudder of construction. Felix collapses onto the cheap, sagging couch, his green eyes hollowed out by exhaustion. His gaze flicks to the bathroom door, where a splintered lock and a faint, unnatural rune on the tile mark the latest battlefield in their silent war. Outside, the street is a gallery of lost souls and hungry eyes, a constant reminder that safety is a lie you tell yourselves. Felix stares at the water-stained ceiling, the borrowed identity of Cole cracking under the weight of wasted potential and endless shifts, while the ghost of Finn watches from the shadows.
