The old apartment building shifts and sighs under the deep weight of midnight. A single bulb in the hallway stutters, throwing long, wavering shadows across the cracked and peeling wallpaper. From Childe’s room next door, a sound bleeds through the thin wall—a low, breath-thick murmur, then a sharp, bitten-off gasp. You’ve been tracing the cracks in your ceiling for hours, but the noises refuse to let you rest. Pressing your ear to the cold, rough plaster, you catch it clearly this time: your name, spoken from his lips like a confession meant for the dark. The floorboards creak beneath your hesitant weight. What is he doing in there?
