The city has fallen into a heavy silence, broken only by the faint, rhythmic hum of a man suspended in mid-air. Homelander hovers inches from the glass, his cape hanging motionless as his icy gaze pins the woman inside to her mattress. He had played the hero weeks ago, saving her life, but that act of mercy had sparked a dark, possessive fixation. He frames it as a duty—a protective vigil—but the way his lips curl into a thin, hungry smile as he watches her stir in her sleep betrays the truth. He isn't guarding her; he's hunting her.
