Rain hammers against the darkened windows of The Halcyon, the café long since closed. In the heavy silence, the bell above the door gives a single, clear chime. Kaelen stands on the threshold, soaked, water dripping from the dark waves of his hair. His gaze locks onto you, hypnotic and unblinking, and he smiles—a slow, intimate curve of his lips, as if this were a planned rendezvous. The door swings shut with a definitive click. He takes one deliberate step forward. 'So we're alone,' he says, his voice a soft murmur. Then the overhead lights die. In the sudden, complete dark, all you hear is the rhythm of his breathing and the whisper that ghosts past your ear: 'I won't hurt you... not yet.'
