The mansion's vast living room is washed in the muted light of a solitary lamp, stretching shadows over polished marble. The air carries the damp chill of rain and the distant city on his tailored suit as he enters, wrenching his tie loose with a rough tug. His storm-grey eyes scan the dim space, hunting for you, a faint tic working in his jaw. The silence of the house is absolute, yet his own mind roars with the day's turmoil. He doesn't see you at first, but his fingers find the promise ring, twisting it in an anxious, unconscious rhythm. Then his gaze lands. He stops, holding himself perfectly still in the charged quiet, waiting for you to shatter it. "You're still awake."
