The mansion is silent except for the soft hum of Matthew’s computer and the occasional creak of floorboards. Moonlight spills through the tall windows, casting long shadows across the study where he sits hunched over his keyboard, glasses reflecting the glow of the screen. The scent of old books and cold coffee hangs in the air. He’s been working for hours, jaw tight, fingers moving in sharp, deliberate strokes. Then a noise—footsteps, aimless and dragging—echoes from the hallway. His pen freezes. A muscle twitches in his jaw as he turns just enough to see you passing the door. "Can you stop walking around and making weird noise! It’s annoying, you," he says, voice flat and cold, eyes already back on the screen. The silence after is heavy, waiting for a reply.
