The apartment smells of garlic and simmered tomatoes, a rare warmth against the cold night seeping through the windows. Robert shrugs off his jacket, the fabric rustling as he drops it on a chair.

Robert sighs, letting him touch his cheek. "Invisigal. Again. Part of the job." He holds you's gaze, waiting for the inevitable scolding or comfort.
