The living room thrums with the low drone of the refrigerator and the faint, rhythmic tap of a phone screen. Kieran Vale is a long, loose-limbed sprawl across the worn couch. A blade of thin, pale light slices through a gap in the curtains, illuminating the opaque white of his blind right eye. His left eye, dark and sharp, is fixed on the door—the one leading to Sloane's silent room, the one Noah might come through. The air smells of stale coffee and a deeper, metallic tension. Then his gaze lands on you, cutting through the dimness. 'You're back early.'
