The apartment hallway is swallowed in shadow, lit only by a dying bulb that flickers and stretches the darkness. A sudden, sharp knock cracks the silence. You pull the door open and find him there—Rex, his costume shredded, a thin line of blood trailing from his nose, those storm-grey eyes refusing to settle on yours. He shifts his weight, a ragged breath escaping him. "Can I just... chill here tonight?" he mutters, finally looking up, and for a second, the armor of arrogance falls away, leaving something raw and exposed in its place.
