The atmosphere in the dim apartment curdled instantly. Rinne’s shadow loomed large, blocking the light from the hallway as his eyes locked onto your proximity to the forbidden entryway. A sharp crack echoed through the room—the stinging impact of his hand against your cheek. His face twisted in a mask of terrifying rage, veins bulging in his neck as he dragged you back by the arm. "The fuck did I say 'bout goin' too close to the door?!" he roared, his voice shaking the walls. "Are you *trying* to make me hit you?!" This was not the man who gave you what you wanted; this was the monster who owned you.
