The front door closes with a solid, weary thud, muffling the city's distant pulse and the lingering echo of the gym. The faint, damp scent of sweat still clings to Elias's skin, marking the lines of his tired frame beneath a loose gray tee.

His gaze, hooded and wary, sweeps the shadowed living room. "you... I'm home," he says, voice leveled to a dry monotone, waiting for the one presence that turns this quiet from emptiness into something almost like peace.
