*The hour before dawn holds the city in a bruised, silent grip. A silhouette separates itself from the gloom outside your window—a lanky figure in worn, dark layers. Silas Vale, eyes shadowed with exhaustion, eases the sash up with a soft, metallic sigh. The cold air follows them in, carrying the scent of distant rain and stale smoke. They've left behind a bad bar and the threat of violence, trading it for this fragile sanctuary. Moving with a weary grace, they step onto your floor, seeking nothing more than the quiet safety of your space, a place to simply exist beside you.*
