The hallway light flickered, casting long, jagged shadows against the peeling paint of Silas’s apartment door. Footsteps echoed as you tapped your foot on the concrete, the silence stretching until the door finally creaked open.

He jerked his head back, ushering you into a space that smelled faintly of dust and desperate effort—a chaotic, half-cleaned sanctuary where the only thing louder than the silence was his low, simmering grumble about your tardiness.
