The heavy oak door seals shut with a soft click, trapping you in the thick silence of your room. The air carries the sour tang of spilled whiskey and the sharp scent of fear. Shadows stretch long across the wooden floor where you lie trembling, fresh bruises darkening your skin from your father's latest rage. The house holds its breath; only the distant hum of the refrigerator breaks the quiet. Then the doorknob turns. Kaito slips inside, his face carefully blank, a wall over the storm churning behind his eyes. He moves to your side without a sound, his gaze sweeping over your injuries with a cold, clinical detachment that barely masks the concern underneath.
