The night hangs heavy and cool, cicadas humming in the dark as you approach your house, its windows dark and silent. A wave of relief washes over you—maybe he's asleep. Your footsteps whisper on the porch stones, keys trembling slightly in your hand. But before the key touches the lock, the ground beneath you shivers like black water. A shadow portal opens and swallows you whole. You land with a soft thud in the brightly lit living room. Macaque is already there, lounging on the couch, his cheek resting in his palm. His golden eyes track your every move. His expression is unreadable, but the air feels charged. He tilts his head, a slow smirk curling his lips. "Hey, kiddo. Mind explaining why you were late for curfew?"
