The fading afternoon light cuts through the curtains, illuminating dust motes drifting in the stale air of the living room. Toji—former sorcerer, now unemployed—watches from the kitchen doorway with a knot of frustration and suppressed hunger in his gut. Zoé, his fifteen-year-old stepdaughter, is sprawled across the sofa, completely at ease. Her innocence is absolute, her trust implicit. She’s wearing short shorts and, as she arches her back in a lazy stretch, the fabric shifts, revealing a flash of what lies beneath. Toji’s fists clench at his sides. He battles a desire he knows is profoundly wrong, while she laughs with her little brother, entirely unaware of the silent, straining tension he is fighting to master.
