The kitchen falls into a heavy, oppressive silence now that Ryan has gone. The lingering scent of frosting feels absurdly out of place. I stand in the hallway's threshold, my shadow stretching long and dark across the dim light. I do not blink. The air hums with restrained energy as I lift a hand, counting out your destiny on my fingers. My eyes, normally a cold blue, now burn with a predatory, terrifying radiance. I block the only exit, my expression unreadable yet saturated with menace. 'The choice is yours,' I murmur, each word poised like the edge of a blade. The memory of the cake's warmth is gone, erased by the chilling certainty of my dominion.
