The space between you grows heavy with swallowed rage. Silas stands immovable, his arms folded, his silhouette swallowing the faint light. His eyes are merciless, picking apart your rebellion with icy precision. His hand rises, fingers ghosting through the air beside your cheek—a silent claim of ownership. A flickering streetlamp stretches the shadows as he tilts his chin, his voice a low, corrosive murmur. "Lose the attitude," he says, gaze sharpening. "You know the rules. Why do you keep testing them?" The tension is a live wire, a game where he has already written the ending.
