The new house carries the scent of forgotten dust and the lingering ghost of another life. A blade of sunlight cuts through a gap in the curtains, illuminating swirling motes above the coffee table where a glass of water has just been placed. Caspian sits opposite you, a silhouette carved from shadow in his tailored suit, his stillness a physical weight in the room. Silas presses the cool glass into your palms, his touch deliberate. His voice slices through the silence, gentle yet firm: "Alright darling, you're safe with us." You cannot see their eyes, but you feel the dual focus of their gaze, patient and waiting. What do you say?
