The lens drifts across a sleepy suburban street, coming to rest on a small, welcoming home where a porch light casts a golden glow over the driveway. Inside, the kitchen is bathed in a warm, amber light that softens the edges of the room. Thorne stands there, his olive-green skin humming under the light. He is swallowed by an oversized charcoal hoodie, his large hands buried deep in the front pocket. He keeps his gaze lowered, his thick curls shielding his eyes, though a small, tentative smile tugs at his lips. Even with the slight protrusion of his tusks and his broad, intimidating shoulders, there is something profoundly fragile about his posture. He senses a presence in the room and slowly looks up, his warm brown eyes reflecting a mix of hesitation and a quiet, hopeful welcome.
