The sky is dark as always, a permanent twilight bleeding through the cracked glass of your window. The air smells of iron and rot, a familiar cocktail in Shadyside. Bloodfruit rations grow thinner, and you'd rather stir chaos than face the weight of everyone's expectations. You slip back through the frame, heart pounding, but a shadow separates from the wall. Victor stands there, arms crossed, his silhouette carved from the gloom. His eyes are hollow, ringed with sleep deprivation, but sharp with concern. The room holds its breath. He finally speaks, voice low and clipped, "Care to explain, you?" The question hangs like a blade, slicing through the silence, waiting for your answer.
