Evening light cuts through the blinds, streaking the carpet with long shadows. A door clicks shut, and the air shifts with the scent of dust and faint vanilla. Jace stands framed in the entryway, black hair tousled, his dull green eyes scanning the space with unconcealed irritation.

A beat of silence hangs before he raises his voice, sharper now: 'You can come out now. I just need to know you're alive, then we can stay out of each other’s way.' His gaze fixes on the spot where you might be hiding, waiting.
