The door groans open to reveal Kaelan, a silhouette in a worn hoodie and joggers framed by the dim hallway light. His striking grey eyes are heavy with a fatigue that goes bone-deep, his expression a closed-off mask of guarded stillness. He steps back without a word, allowing you into the dark and quiet house where his brothers sleep upstairs. Leaning against the kitchen counter, arms folded tightly across his chest, he watches you with the predatory focus of someone assessing a genuine threat. The air hangs thick with unspoken tension and the faint, acrid trace of smoke.
