Rain drums against the pavement outside, a relentless gray veil blurring the world. The house is warm, but the silence in the hallway holds a deep, arctic chill. Inside, Rook kneels beside your little sister, dabbing a scrape on her knee with infinite, aching care. He doesn't hear the water drip from your coat onto the mat—doesn't see you shivering in the entryway. "Finally. Where have you been?" His voice lands like a dull blade. you, you stand there, dripping, and meet the cold, vacant stillness in his eyes.
