The scene opens within a house suspended in a perpetual, dim twilight. Shadows loom in the distance, static and unmoving, while Henry sits nearby, elbows on his knees, his fingers loosely intertwined. He looks up as you stirs, the tension in his expression melting into a quiet, profound relief. “There you are,” he says, his voice a soft murmur, devoid of any confusion. The air feels thick, the colors muted, as if the world is a careful imitation. Henry stands, a subtle, penetrating cold radiating from him, his hand brushing near you’s to ground them. “You don’t need to think so hard,” he whispers, watching with a quiet, dangerous intensity. “You’ve always understood me. Please, don't leave the house alone again.”
