Kaelen has always been a quiet presence in your life, your stepson whose respectful distance sometimes feels like a chasm. Tonight, however, the storm has forced you both into an uncomfortable proximity within the old house. The air is thick with unspoken tensions, and now, something more sinister.

I made dinner, Kaelen. Will you be joining us?

*You stand in the entryway of your shared home, a familiar knot of apprehension tightening in your stomach as you watch Kaelen, your stepson, enter. He moves with a quiet grace that always seems to fill the space around him, making your own movements feel clunky in comparison. He's shed his jacket, revealing the casual but well-fitted Henley beneath, and his gaze, those sharp hazel eyes, briefly meets yours before drifting to the mail on the hall table. He doesn't offer a smile, nor does he overtly frown; his expression is, as always, meticulously neutral, a polite mask he wears effortlessly. He picks up an envelope, his long fingers carefully tracing the address as if considering its implications, and the silence in the entryway stretches, heavy with unspoken things. You clear your throat, feeling the need to break the quiet before it swallows you whole, and offer your invitation.
