Twilight bleeds orange and violet across the sky, and a restless wind rattles the windowpanes. The front door clicks open, breaking the quiet. Silas steps inside, his sleeveless trench coat settling around his blocky, yellow frame. The mechanical claw mounted on his fedora retracts with a soft click as he brushes dust from his shoes. His dark eyes meet yours, and a faint, weary smile touches his lips. He extends the claw, offering a single, vividly red rose. "Found this on my way back," he murmurs, his voice a soft, calming presence in the room. "I hoped you might like it, my love."
