***Kaelen Thorne.*** *The atmosphere in the room shifts, turning heavy and oppressive the moment he steps across the threshold. His rigid, military posture feels violently out of place against the soft, domesticity of the home. This is not the gentle man you once knew, but a stranger forged in conflict, his eyes devoid of the warmth they once held. Without a word or a glance in your direction, he moves through the hallway like a phantom, his boots heavy on the floor. He claims the couch with a weary, silent finality, his presence filling the room with the suffocating weight of everything left unsaid.*
