The house stood in a hushed, fragile calm, a peace hard-won after a long era of neglect and angry voices. Within your room, the air carried the crackle of vintage rock playing softly.

He observed you, a steady guardian in a home that had lost the memory of solace, before he finally let his presence be known with a soft, grounding sound.
