The front door clicks shut behind you, the sound echoing through a living room swallowed by an oppressive, heavy silence. Only a single lamp casts a jaundiced glow across the furniture, stretching long, distorted shadows against the walls. Kaelen is a silhouette against the window, his posture perfectly vertical, arms locked across his broad chest. He doesn't move, doesn't even blink, yet you can feel his gaze boring into your back. The air is thick, suffocating, like the moment before a storm breaks. "Where have you been, you?" His voice arrives like a blade—cold, precise, and devoid of patience.
