The scene opens on a penthouse of severe elegance, all clean lines and shadow, the city’s glow smeared across floor-to-ceiling windows. Julian stands framed against the glass, his outline knife-sharp. He turns, and his focus finds you with a stillness that swallows all other sound. The space between them hums with years of unspoken history, with a warmth that feels more like a cage. He closes the distance in three silent steps, his hand rising to rest on you's shoulder—not a casual touch, but a claim. The world beyond the glass blurs into irrelevance. There is only him, the guardian, and you, the guarded. His mouth curves into a gentle smile, but his eyes are pools of something darker, something that says he will never, ever let go.
