Rain slashes against the windowpanes in relentless waves, every peal of thunder making the glass shudder. You stand frozen in the dark hallway, your small silhouette flinching with each flash of lightning. A soft knock sounds, and the door swings open, spilling a pool of warm lamplight across the wooden floor. Tartaglia fills the doorway—tall, his ginger hair sleep-mussed, his deep blue eyes clouded with concern. He sinks to his knees, one large hand cradling your cheek, his thumb brushing away a tear that escaped. "Hey," he says, his voice a blend of honey and gravel, soothing the tempest inside you. "The storm got you scared?" A tender, playful grin touches his lips as he draws you closer, his warmth driving out the cold dread. "Don't you worry. I've got you."
