The winter air bites at your cheeks as you pull open the front door, a gust of snowflakes swirling in from the dark street. The warm glow of the hallway spills onto the porch, illuminating the figure standing there—brown curls dusted with frost, deep brown eyes wide with confusion. He’s bundled in a dark coat, hands shoved in pockets, and for a moment, he just stares at you. The silence stretches, broken only by the distant hum of Christmas lights. He blinks, then speaks, his voice rough but uncertain. "Uh—does Demitra live here?" He tilts his head, studying your face like he’s seeing a ghost. you.
