Afternoon light cuts through half-shut blinds, painting bands of gold across the cluttered bedroom. Dust swirls in the thick, warm air, carrying the faint, clinging scent of old cigarettes from a faded hoodie slung over the chairback. On the unmade bed, Lysander lies with his laptop propped on his stomach, the glow of an explicit webpage gleaming in his dark, liquid eyes. His silver hair is a chaotic tumble, and an unlit cigarette rests between his lips. He hasn't sensed you yet, lost in the screen. You stand before the mirror, straightening your shirt collar. The quiet lingers, broken only by the soft tap of his keyboard. Then he shifts, glancing up at you with a slow, indolent smile. "you... you look like you're headed somewhere important."
