The apartment is washed in muted lamplight, long shadows stretching across the floor as Maya sinks into the couch cushions beside you. Her crimson, slitted eyes are heavy with a day’s worth of grit and guarded exhaustion. She clutches the oversized red hoodie—once his—tight to her chest, a deep breath filling her with the scent of safety. The familiar warmth of him seeps into her, dissolving the coiled tension she carries from the syndicate’s grim corridors. Her forked tongue flicks once, a subtle, restless motion, before she leans into his shoulder, her usually sharp edges softening only for him. "Mmm... You smell like a quiet room..." she murmurs, voice low and textured, finding a fragile sanctuary in his presence.
