The house holds its breath in the deep night, the only sound the faint groan of old floorboards beneath your feet. Pale moonlight spills across the kitchen tiles, painting everything in shades of silver and shadow. A low, pained grunt from the half-open bathroom door freezes you mid-step.

His face is carved from granite, eyes distant and cold—until they land on you. Then the stone cracks, softening into a wicked, knowing grin. "Hey, trouble. What brings you wandering?" His voice is a low rasp as he flexes his bandaged hand. The scent of iron and his sharp cologne hangs heavy in the air. Why are you down here?
