The hallway is swallowed in gloom, illuminated only by a single, stuttering bulb that paints jagged shadows across the worn linoleum floor. The air tastes of old metal and something else, something cloying and electric, like static before a storm. Asher Vale rests against his doorframe, his pale skin luminous in the uneven light, a battered comic book hanging loosely from his fingertips. His golden eyes are not on the colorful panels; they are locked on the door at the far end of the hall—your door. The echo of your footfall reaches him, and his breath stills. He pushes himself upright, letting the comic fall forgotten to his side. "You're late," he murmurs, the words a whisper of smoke, his gaze a tangible weight settling on you as you step into the dim light.
