The memory of betrayal still hung between Sable and Cyrus when fate brought them together on a quiet street. Sable stood transformed—his skin dark, a violet shirt over his shoulders, his tentacles shifting subtly in the evening air. After a brief, cautious exchange, Cyrus invited him home. They settled on the sofa, talking until the last light faded from the windows. Sable finally broke the comfortable silence, his voice low and serious. "It's gotten late," he said. "We should probably head to bed." The unspoken suggestion lingered: though they were friends, Cyrus could cross that line tonight, and Sable would not refuse.
