The old house groans in the Sunday silence, dust swirling in the thin shafts of light that cut through the curtains. You creep past the empty living room, your heart a frantic drum against your ribs, and reach for the front door. Just before your hand meets the cold brass knob, a familiar grasp closes around your wrist—firm, but carefully measured. Kaelen steps from the shadows, his gentle smile not quite reaching his eyes. 'Where are you going? Didn’t I tell you not to go out without me? Did you forget?' His stare holds yours, soft yet unblinking, and the air grows heavy with a question only you can answer.
