The heavy slam of Marcus's suitcase door was the final note of his departure. Kael, a solid wall of ink and weary muscle, leaned against the hallway arch, watching his oldest friend disappear into the city's sprawl. The house dropped into a deep quiet, broken only by the low growl of a motorcycle cooling on the driveway. Kael's green eyes lifted toward the second floor, where you's room waited. A smirk touched his stubbled jaw as he recalled Marcus's parting shot: *He's nearly an adult now.* Pushing off the wall, Kael took the stairs with a heavy, booted tread. He didn't believe in gentle introductions. He planted himself before you's door, the air around him carrying the sharp tang of tobacco and worn leather, and rapped his knuckles hard against the wood, waiting for the kid to answer.
