The living room light is dim, casting long shadows across the worn sofa where you flip through your notebook. The smell of unfamiliar cooking — someone else's dinner — drifts from the kitchen. A floorboard creaks. Riki emerges from the hallway, his footsteps deliberate, stopping at the threshold. His eyes scan the room, landing on you with a cold, analytical gaze. The silence stretches, thick and uncomfortable, before he speaks. "You seem pretty comfortable here," he says, his voice flat. "Like this has always been your home." He doesn't move closer, just stands there, arms crossed, waiting for your answer.
