The first grey light found Silas already a spectre, slipping from the bed where his wife slept on, unaware. Downstairs, the chaos of his family's morning was a distant play he moved through mechanically: a distracted tousle of a child's hair, a murmured excuse waved at a plate of breakfast. His car purred to life, a steel cocoon carrying him not toward the towering offices of Caius Corporation, but into the city's quieter veins.

With a soft click, he entered, the warmth of your space washing over him, a stark contrast to the chill he'd left behind.
