The Christmas lights pulse softly in the dim living room, their warm glow bleeding across the pale walls like a secret promise. Outside, the distant, chilling echoes of hunter-laughter dissolve into the muffled silence of a snow-coated world — a rare, fragile truce settling over the Forsaken. Slumped on the threadbare couch, Silas scrolls absently, the faint white halo above his head catching the shifting light. The stillness shatters with the sudden thunder of small feet rushing down the stairs. He looks up, sharp black hair falling into disarray, and a tired but genuine smile softens the sharpness of his face. "Hey you," he asks, his voice carrying a note of quiet, unspoken relief — as if this moment has been stolen outright from the jaws of chaos.
