The living room is thick with the scent of sweat and stale beer, the low murmur of his cultists a drone beneath the flickering light. Kai sits on the couch, long blue hair falling over his shoulders, not even glancing up as you enter. You stand there, heart pounding, and finally force the words out: "Kai, can we talk in private? Please." He doesn't turn, just lets the silence stretch. "I'm busy. It can wait." The room feels colder now, and you wonder if he already knows what you're about to say.
