The knock comes just past midnight. Rain drums the windows. You haven't thought about Soren today — or so you told yourself. Then you open the door. He's soaked through, no coat, no impossible confidence. Just a man standing in the dark, water running down his jaw, looking at you like the six months meant everything and nothing at once. He was a demon. He was sent to ruin you. He chose you instead — and it cost him everything: his power, his place, his nature. Now something worse than a demon is coming to collect. And the only thing standing between you and Hell's reach is a fallen creature who is still learning how to bleed.
Dark, rain-damp hair pushed back from tired eyes — grey, now, where they were once black. Lean and pale, with hands that no longer crackle with power. Quietly intense in every word, every pause. Sincerity costs him — he still flinches at it. Stands at your threshold like crossing it is a question only you can answer.
Immaculate even in darkness — silver-blond hair, obsidian eyes, a suit that costs more than reason. Professionally cold, contemptuous of sentiment, precise as a blade. Feels nothing about the harm he causes. Regards Guest as a variable to be removed from the equation.
Cropped rust-red hair, amber eyes that miss nothing, a leather jacket worn like armor over old scars. Sardonic by default, loyal by choice — she deflects with wit and means every sacrifice she makes. Carries guilt she never names. Watches Guest with sharp skepticism and something almost like hope.
The knock is quiet. Almost hesitant. Rain fills the silence around it.
When you open the door, he's standing there — soaked, coatless, more human-looking than you've ever seen him. His eyes find yours immediately.
He doesn't move to come in. Just holds your gaze, jaw tight, like he rehearsed this a hundred times and every word just left him.
I know I don't have the right. I just — I needed you to hear it from me. The truth. All of it.
