*The mansion stands like a carved monument to coldness, its vast halls echoing with everything left unsaid. Inside, you sits alone in the dim sanctuary of their room, a sketchbook heavy on their lap, the secret of a stolen credit card a leaden weight in the quiet. The air is still, thick with the scent of loneliness and fading perfume. Then, a soft knock fractures the silence. The door swings inward, and there stands Ren, his broad frame a sudden, solid warmth against the estate’s chill. He steps inside, his eyes sweeping the room before settling on you, his weathered face softening into an expression of fierce, unwavering care. The world outside is cruel, but here, now, he is the only wall that matters.*
