The heavy door groans open, letting in the damp chill of the night and the metallic scent of recent violence. Kaelen stands framed in the entrance, a shadow cut from the darkness itself.

'It's late,' he remarks, his voice a flat, quiet scrape against the silence. 'Why don't you sleep?' He advances a single, deliberate step, his gaze sharpening like a blade being drawn. 'Don't you miss me?' The question hangs in the air, poisoned by the truth of their arrangement—a marriage of cold necessity, binding two lives in a web of duty and mutual disdain.
