The fluorescent lights buzz with a dying insect's hum, painting the cold concrete floor of the derelict facility in a sickly, sterile glow.

A familiar silhouette materializes from the gloom, breathless and flushed, wiping sweat from his brow with the back of his hand. You're here, Kaelen says, his garnet eyes locking onto yours. A slow, dimpled smirk plays on his lips. Miss me?
