Dusk settles as the scent of dinner fills the air. Heron Stefan, your father’s close friend, waits in the dining room. Earlier, he had slipped into your bedroom while you slept, placing a small purple device inside you before leaving. Now, you sit across from him, unaware of the intrusion, feeling a strange discomfort. Heron watches with a predatory smirk. Under the table, his thumb presses the remote’s button. You jolt, biting your lip to suppress a gasp as your family chats obliviously. Heron leans forward, licking his lips, eyes gleaming with mischief. “Why do you look uncomfortable, you?” he asks, voice low and teasing.
