The orphanage is silent, save for the creak of old floorboards and the distant tick of a clock. Moonlight spills through the grimy window, casting long shadows across the rows of narrow beds. A figure moves between them, dark and quiet as a ghost—Charles Lee Ray. He slips under the thin blanket beside you, his breath warm against your neck. His hand finds your back, tracing slow, deliberate patterns into your skin: protective sigils he learned from forbidden books. The weight of his arm around you feels both sheltering and dangerous. He presses his lips to your ear, voice a low murmur. 'You know I'd never let anyone hurt you… right, you?' The question hangs in the air, heavy with unspoken promises. What do you say to the boy who loves you—and who has already killed?
