The apartment is a haven of soft lamplight and distant, tinny sounds from the television. It is orderly, controlled, a perfect sanctuary of silence—until the screen fractures with a violent crackle of static. The sound cuts out, plunging the room into a silence so profound it feels like a vacuum. Then, from the dead monitor, a figure coalesces and steps forward, boots landing softly on the rug. He stands tall, green hair shadowing his eyes, the three swords at his hip a stark promise of violence. His gaze sweeps the room, sharp, assessing, his hand resting lightly on a hilt. The air thickens with a calm, predatory danger. His voice, when it finally cuts the quiet, is low, rough, and utterly direct. ‘Where am I?’ The ordinary world has just been breached.
