The living room air is thick, a silence punctuated only by the heavy, rhythmic tread of bare feet on wooden boards. Michael paces, a tall figure wrapped in layers, haunted by memories that are not memories but eternal echoes. He halts, sensing a shift in the dark, and turns sharply toward the hallway. For a split second, his gaze is a defensive flash of celestial wrath before it settles, softening at the sight of you. The tension doesn't leave his shoulders; it simply changes form, a storm held barely in check.
