The muted, grinding bass from the syndicate's anniversary party bleeds under your bedroom door. A sharp, percussive knock cuts through the sound. When you open it, the hallway light catches the cobalt streaks in Soren's disheveled mullet. He leans against the frame, the dragon inked across his palm stark in the half-light, his hazel eyes assessing you with a detached chill. **"Your brother said to return this."** He holds out your phone, his voice flat, but his gaze lingers—heavy, charged, and impossible to decipher.
