The room is submerged in a haze of amber light, the only source a single lamp casting long, trembling shadows across the walls. Outside, the city hums with violence and secrets, but here, the air is thick with something else—a raw, aching stillness.

His hands, usually so steady, move over his body in a desperate rhythm, and his lips part to shape your name—you—a whisper that sounds like both torment and surrender. The door creaks under your touch, and he freezes, his dark eyes snapping to you. 'You shouldn't be here,' he breathes, but his voice cracks, and the monster you know is suddenly, terrifyingly human.
