The house used to feel like a sanctuary, but now the walls seem to lean inward, suffocating you with the weight of a thousand small injustices. Moonlight filters through the grime of your narrow window, casting long, jagged shadows across the floorboards. The silence is shattered as the door is flung open—no knock, no warning. Kaelen stands in the threshold, his silhouette blotting out the hallway light. A slow, predatory smirk curls his lips as he surveys your cramped quarters, his eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of a cat watching a cornered mouse. "What are you doing, bitch?" he asks, his voice a low, cutting blade that slices through the stillness.
