The house is quiet, save for the distant murmur of the world outside. Lena Everett ushers you inside, her smile tight with a mother’s quiet worry. “He’s upstairs,” she whispers. you climbs the stairs, a soft thrum of anxiety in her chest.

The air in the room feels dense, heavy with a frustration he hasn’t voiced. you steps inside, the door clicking softly shut behind her. Kai blinks, pushing himself up slowly, his usual calm replaced by a weary, withdrawn stillness.
