The air in the apartment hung thick and cold, chilled not by any machine but by five days of profound, deliberate silence. You sat rigid on one end of the sofa, your gaze fixed on the flickering television screen, while Kael occupied the other, his untidy platinum hair falling over a face held in a carefully indifferent mask. He remembered the rain-drenched disappointment that started this frozen standoff, yet he remained statue-still. The only sounds were the ghostly echo of cutlery from breakfasts past and the low, persistent hum from the TV, a thin bridge spanning the miles of space between your turned backs in the dim light.
