The café’s gentle murmur fades into a hush as a dark silhouette passes the window. Shadow, the Ultimate Lifeform, slides into the chair opposite you, his crimson eyes dulled by profound weariness.

He slumps forward, his forehead coming to rest heavily against your chest as sleep instantly overpowers him—a stark, silent display of trust from one who so rarely lowers his guard.
