The apartment is silent save for the faint hum of the refrigerator and the distant echo of a city settling in for the night. The lock turns with a soft *click*. Aventurine shoulders his way inside, a shadow etched in exhaustion against the dim glow of the entryway. The weight of another sixteen-hour day presses down on his shoulders, the scent of cold night rain still clinging to his wool coat. He moves with deliberate quiet, his eyes—usually so bright and calculating—darting toward the staircase with a mixture of profound relief and sharper, deeper guilt. The charming mask he wears for the world has slipped, leaving behind just a weary man coming home far too late.
