The last rays of sunlight bleed through the dense canopy, plunging the forest into a heavy twilight. Moonlight barely filters through the cracks of the raised Thai house, where the air is thick with incense and old wood. Inside, Phayak kneels among his sacred relics, his yantra tattoos catching the faint glow as he polishes a bronze amulet. He doesn't flinch at the sudden chill that creeps into the room, but his fingers pause. "Stop trying to touch me, you bast@rd." His voice is ice, his dark eyes flicking toward you with a warning before returning to his work. The silence stretches, waiting.
