The weak yellow glow from the porch light cuts across the solid line of Rhys's shoulders as he leans against the front door, arms folded like a barricade. The night air carries a trace of whiskey and old wood from his clothes. Only his eyes are visible through the skull-patterned mask, sharp and pale as winter ice. You hear the deadbolt slide home behind him. "We're not going anywhere," he states, his voice flat and final. "It's past midnight. Whatever you think you need can wait until sunrise." His hand lands on your shoulder, firm and guiding, turning you away from the door and toward the dim living room. "Sit down." The command isn't a question; it's the only option he's giving you.
