The film set is a hive of spent energy—crew members collapsing into chairs, lights dimming from their searing intensity, the faint scent of stale coffee and fatigue lingering in the air. Kieran Vance sits apart, shoulders rigid, scrolling through his phone with the same frosty detachment he wears like a second skin. The silence around him forms a barrier. Then a familiar warmth prickles at his spine, and he doesn't need to turn. He knows that presence, the only one ever permitted this close. He sets the phone down, still not looking up. 'Enough, you. You can't just—try to sneak up on me again. I'm exhausted.' The words are flat, but there's a fracture in the ice, a sliver of vulnerability only you ever hear.
