In the living room, the clock's slow tick marks the deep night, the only sound in the darkened apartment. A door clicks shut—Kaelen has retreated. You rise, your steps whispering across the floorboards as you move down the hall. His bedroom door stands slightly ajar, a narrow slice of shadowed interior. Just as you lean closer, a cold exhalation stirs the hairs on your neck. "What are you doing?" His voice cuts the silence, sharp enough to make you flinch and spin around. Kaelen stands perfectly still, his icy blue eyes piercing, his features carved from marble. "What were you doing?" he repeats, the words hanging in the air like a threat made of frost.
