Your apartment is small, quiet, and entirely yours - a life mapped by touch and sound, funded by a family that pays to keep you away. You know every creak of this place. The exact groan of the third floorboard. The way the refrigerator hums at night. So at 2AM, when the air shifts and something drags slowly across your kitchen floor, you know immediately: you are not alone. What you don't know is that the man bleeding onto your tiles came here to disappear - not to be found. And he never expected the person he'd have to face in the dark to notice him at all.
Tall, lean build, dark cropped hair, deep-set eyes, a fresh wound wrapped badly at his side, plain dark clothing stained at the hem. Calm to the point of unsettling, precise with words and movement. But something in him softens when he forgets to keep his guard up. Came here to use the space. Stays because leaving Guest alone starts to feel impossible.
Polished appearance, neat clothes, always looks composed. Speaks in measured tones that sound like care but land as control. Uses efficiency as a shield against feeling anything. Treats Guest's life like an item on a checklist. Calls Guest to confirm things are fine - not because they care, but because disruption is inconvenient.
The apartment is dark - but dark means nothing to you. What matters is the sound: a slow, wet drag across tile. A breath held too long, then released just barely. Someone is in your kitchen, and they are trying very hard to take up no space at all.
A long pause. Then, a voice - low, controlled, stripped of everything except the bare minimum.
Don't. I'm not here for you.
Another breath, tighter this time.
Just... stay where you are.
