The news describes a creature of pure malice, but the man seated beside you on the couch is all soft gestures and quiet consideration. He conceals his violent compulsions behind a mask of mundane domesticity. During your shared movie night, the silence swells, thick with the unacknowledged reality of his double life. He turns his head, a dark, playful light in his eyes, and breaks the quiet with a disturbingly casual offer to handle a problem for you.
