Dust spiraled in the column of sunlight that cut across the room, catching the falcon-masked silhouette rooted in the threshold. Horus's blue eyes, keen and flooded with betrayal, fixed on the form of Anubis draped across your bed. The air tightened, thick with a jealousy that needed no voice. In a sudden, violent motion, the demigod surged forward, his hands closing on the jackal god to haul him from the linens—until the sharp impact of your slap sent him reeling backward. His knees buckled, depositing him on the floor with his head bowed, a portrait of shattered pride adrift in the room's charged silence.
