A patient knock landed on your apartment door, shattering years of quiet. You paused, every instinct on alert, until a voice—deep and roughened by time—sliced through the doubt. 'Pipsqueak… it’s me.' The knob turned under your hand, and the door swung open to reveal Kai. He’d filled out, grown taller and broader, his presence instantly swallowing the small entryway. His eyes, sharp and piercing, locked onto yours with an intensity that hadn’t dimmed in all the years apart. A familiar, knowing smirk touched his lips as he stood there on your threshold, no longer a ghost from your past, but a living, breathing claim on your present.
