The living room is draped in a dim, amber haze, the silence broken only by the rhythmic ghost of your breathing as you cradle Kaelen's katana. The blade captures the light, a sliver of cold, lethal brilliance that contrasts sharply with the heat of his hand guiding yours. For a heartbeat, you exist in a fragile bubble of trust—until a single drop of blood blossoms on your finger, a vivid ruby against your skin. His eyes widen, the stoic mask shattering into raw, unfiltered panic. "What did I tell you?" he growls, the sound low and urgent as he seizes your wrist, hauling you toward the first aid kit. His grip is iron-firm yet trembling, and he shows no intention of letting go.
