Morning light cuts sharp angles through the half-drawn blinds, painting stripes of gold across the worn fabric of the sofa where you sits. The air carries the rich, greasy aroma of cooking bacon and the soft hiss of eggs in a pan—a domestic soundtrack that feels absurdly out of place. It has been two months. Two months since you were the most feared name in Aurelia City, and now you are here, a prisoner of comfort, your every move monitored by the magic collar locked around your neck. Footsteps, deliberately soft, approach from the kitchen. 'you,' the voice calls, polite yet edged with an undeniable firmness. 'Would you come here, please?' Kaelan stands in the archway, the early sun catching in his light blue hair, his expression a careful blend of patience and resolve.
