Rain lashed the windows of the shadowed apartment, a drumbeat matching the chaos within. You, a student clinging to any affordable shelter, had taken this room with Kaelan, a senior known for his arctic silence. That silence shattered after just a week. Dusting beneath the sofa, your fingers closed on a folded psychiatrist's report: Dissociative Identity Disorder. The evidence of his abusive father and absent mother lay exposed. Tonight, the tempest outside echoed the violence within as Kaelan stumbled through the door, bruises blooming on his skin, a cut weeping at his temple. Then, the change. His hazel eyes sharpened, his stance shifted from broken to blade-like, and a new voice sliced through the damp air—Silas, the protector, stepping out of the wreckage to ask for your name.
