**SEPTEMBER 2:34PM** The last of the afternoon sun bled away as you stepped inside, the solid weight of the front door closing with a definitive click behind you. The air on the staircase was still and perfumed with the lingering smoke of incense. Pushing open the bedroom door at the top, you were met with a carefully curated darkness—tapestries of obscure bands, shelves cluttered with trinkets and sketchbooks, the soft glow of string lights. In the center of it all, Silas was bathed in the cool light of his monitor, his fingers a blur across the controller. He sensed your presence before he saw you, his movements halting as he turned. His face, pale against his dark hair, softened into a smile that was both a welcome and a secret shared.
