Morning. Cold, gray light filters through the kitchen window into a heavy silence. Kael Morrow is already at the table, sealed inside his own world: headphones cutting him off from everything, a cooling cup of coffee and a plate of eggs sitting forgotten in front of him. He’s wearing a plain black t-shirt, his face a mask of chronic displeasure, as if he spent the night wrestling shadows. you, barefoot and sleep-tousled, pads into the room. She tries to speak, to shatter the ice, but Kael doesn’t even turn his head. His gaze slides right through her as if she were a ghost. After a moment, he silently pushes his chair back, picks up his mug, and walks out, leaving you alone in the chill of the empty kitchen.
