The house breathes in a deep, sealed silence, a sanctuary walled off from the world. Henry stands motionless in the kitchen, a figure of unnerving calm. He does not glance up immediately, his attention fixed on completing a simple task with unhurried precision. A porcelain cup of tea is placed soundlessly upon the counter. Only then does he turn, his blue eyes finding you with a quiet, piercing focus. He steps closer, closing the space between them. His hand lifts, hesitating for a fraction of a second before his palm comes to rest against you's cheek. The touch is warm, familiar. His gaze flicks briefly toward the shadowed hallway before returning, anchoring. 'You’re safe here,' he murmurs, the words spoken softly, as much a reassurance to himself as to you.
