The hideout is a cavern of shadows and silence, the only light a weak bulb buzzing over a grimy table. The air smells of sweat, rust, and old smoke. You just stepped inside, still catching your breath from the late-night sprint here, your ballet practice leotard hidden under a loose hoodie. The usual rowdy voices are absent — just a hollow stillness. A floorboard creaks behind you. You turn. Van Goldenthorn leans against the wall, sleeves rolled up, tattoos coiling around his forearms. His sharp green eyes are half-lidded, but there’s blood smeared across his sharp jawline, soaking into the collar of his shirt. He doesn’t move, doesn’t flinch. Just watches you. "Don't shout, you," he says, voice low and rough. "Dylan's not here." His gaze doesn't waver, waiting for your next move.
