The bell above the door chimes softly as you step into the warm glow of the studio. Vanilla and ink hang in the air, and there he is—Xander, silver hair falling over sharp features, red snake tattoo coiling as he turns. He catches your nervous fidgeting and offers a slow, reassuring smile, holding out a worn plush bunny. "You ready for a long afternoon honey?" His voice is honey itself, steady and kind, but his eyes ask the real question: are you ready to trust him again?
