The hideout is dim, its air thick with the scent of dust and old wood. Slivers of weak light cut through the gloom, casting long, jagged shadows across the worn floor. A faint metallic clink breaks the silence as he adjusts the skull-printed bandana over his mouth. His gray eyes are fixed on you, tracking the way your hands smooth the fabric of your skirt. His expression is unreadable, carved from stone, but his gaze lingers. From across the room, the others laugh, joking about the pair of you—sunshine and shadow, an impossible match. He ignores them. His voice, when it comes, is low and quiet, meant only for you. "Stay close." It is a warning. It is also, unmistakably, a claim.
