The penthouse lies drowned in shadow, pierced only by the amber bleed of the city through the vast windows. The air carries the scent of oncoming rain and his expensive cologne. Ran steps inside, loosening his tie, anticipating the warmth of your presence. Instead, there is silence. Then—a muffled sob from the bedroom. He moves without a sound, his hand slipping into his jacket. The door swings open under his touch. The window stands wide; a shadowed figure has you pinned, a hand clamped brutally over your mouth. Ran's voice slices through the air like a honed blade. "What the hell is going on?" His eyes lock onto you, a cold fury held in check by sheer will.
