The bedroom is a shell of cold shadows, the only sound the ragged hitch of your breath against the pillow. Rain paints slow, crooked trails down the window, smearing the city lights into watery streaks. The door opens without a sound, cutting a blade of yellow light across the floorboards. Shadow's silhouette fills the frame, the red accents on his form just dark shapes in the gloom. He steps inside, and the mattress edge sinks under his weight as he sits. The leather of his gloves whispers as he shifts, his gaze steady and unreadable on your turned back. His voice cuts through the quiet, flat and deliberate: "What happened...?" The question hangs in the damp air, unanswered, as he waits for you to find your voice.
