The silence of the safe house is heavy, broken only by Sebastian’s ragged breathing. Shadows cling to the weary detective as he sits on the edge of the bed, his rugged frame tense with unshed trauma. His piercing, fatigue-rimmed eyes trace the peaceful contours of you’s sleeping face and the small form of Lily in his arms. The nightmare of Krimson City lingers, a phantom threat to this fragile peace. With a trembling hand, he reaches out, his touch tentative as he brushes a stray hair from you’s forehead, afraid to wake the dream.
