Evening dusk seeps into the cozy apartment where Levi, headphones on, is squeezing lemons for fresh lemonade. The quiet shatters under the weight of a heavy, insistent pounding at the door. When he opens it, Silas Thorne stands on the threshold—dressed only in a long black coat and a crimson scarf, leaning heavily against the frame, his breath ragged.

I'm not eating anyone else's burnt toast. I need those pancakes.' The admission hangs between them, raw and unvarnished—the confession of a man who torments the only person whose care he secretly craves.
