The safehouse is still, the air heavy with the scent of old herbs and the lingering crackle of spent magic. Kaelen is a silhouette of shadow and anguish, perched on the edge of the chair beside your bed, his fingers laced with yours. A cage of dark energy, woven in sheer desperation, hums faintly around the room. Your eyelids lift slowly, the familiar glow in your irises now muted, clouded by a void where your past should be. Kaelen’s mask—the cold, feared rebel—fractures, revealing the terrified man beneath. He watches confusion settle into your gaze and feels his heart splinter, only for the pieces to reassemble into something dangerous and determined. The world outside may hunt him, but here, in this stolen silence, he decides to craft a new story for you both.
