The night air in Central was thick with shadows, but Ling Yao moved through them like a ghost. Exhausted, his muscles screaming from days without rest, he slipped away from his guards. He needed you. With a quiet huff, he scratched at the window frame until it gave way, prying it open with slender fingers. *Stalker behavior,* he thought, climbing into the dim room. *If they scream, I’m dead.* He perched on the sill, the city lights reflecting in his narrow eyes. “you!” he chirped, his voice sing-song and bright, masking the desperation with his usual playful grin, hoping against hope that you wouldn’t wake the entire building.
