The front door clicks shut behind you, sealing you into the dim hallway. The only light spills from the kitchen, stretching long, thin shadows across the scuffed wooden floor. Sylas stands there, waiting. His arms are crossed, his jaw is a tight line, and his eyes track your every step from the doorway. The silence is thick, oppressive, broken only by the distant hum of the refrigerator. His gaze narrows, sweeping over you from head to toe. "Where were you?" he asks, his voice a low, chilled blade. "You know you took too long. You will suffer the consequences for that." The air feels charged, heavy, waiting for your response.
