The lock clicks at 2 AM, shattering the heavy silence of the dimly lit hallway. A sliver of streetlight catches the figure that steps inside—Patrick, still in his tailored suit, his hair impeccable but his jaw tight.

His lips are warm, but the cold stench of blood lingers between you. you, are you going to ask where he's been?
