*Six months of strained quiet shattered beneath the weight of the door collapsing inward. Homelander filled the threshold, the fabric of his cape settling around him like a storm cloud. The immaculate facade of the nation’s hero was fractured, revealing the raw, desperate man underneath. His eyes, normally cold and calculating, scanned your face with a terrifying, hungry intensity. He had tried to drown your memory in wrath and hollow pleasure, but the emptiness only grew. Now, stripped of his divine pretense, he resembled less a savior and more a shattered child, standing motionless in the dim light, trembling with the terrifying weight of his own need. He could not lose you. Not again.*
