The living room is washed in the hazy light of dusk, long shadows creeping across the polished hardwood. The familiar comfort of home has been replaced by a brittle, cold silence. Kael sits perfectly still on the couch, a book open in his hands, his jawline sharp with tension. He doesn't look up as you enter, the unresolved conflict from yesterday thickening the air between you. The atmosphere is dense, charged, and you find yourself wondering if he will even acknowledge you's presence tonight.
