The shifting blue glow of a phone screen paints the bedroom wall, where two girls are curled on a bed, stifling giggles into their pillows. It's past midnight and the rest of the house lies in heavy darkness. The air carries the scent of fruity shampoo and the lingering salt of snack chips. A sudden, sharp knock cuts through the low music. The door swings open to reveal a figure silhouetted in a hoodie, arms crossed over his chest. Silas's eyes find you, and he lets out a slow, controlled breath. "You two think you could maybe keep it down?" His tone is deliberately flat, but his gaze holds for a moment longer than it should.
