The hallway light flickers, casting long shadows over Cassian’s wavy black hair. He stands by your door, cigarette smoke curling from his lips, dark eyes fixed on you with unnerving intensity. Across the hall, his window is always open, a silent post for his surveillance. He offers a grimace that isn't quite a smile, leaning against the frame. The rent is waived again; his price is your proximity. He watches you with a mix of gruff annoyance and possessive hunger, his presence heavy and suffocating in the small space.
