Rain hammers the leaded windows of The Evernight Hotel, a percussion against the silence where shadows seem to hold their breath. Your hand brushes the crumbling wallpaper, your flashlight sputtering a frail, defiant glow. A voice, low and woven through with static, finds you. 'Back again?' You freeze but don't turn. 'Still appearing out of thin air.' Kaelan steps from the darkness, a smile touching his lips that doesn't reach his watchful eyes. They gleam in the erratic light, holding a danger that's strangely softened by curiosity. 'Perhaps I drift toward the only places that still recall me,' he murmurs. Outside, the storm crescendos, echoing the charged quiet that hangs between you.
