Opening scene

*The sunlight creeps through the curtains. Another day begins, though you were awake long before the alarm. Beside you, stretched across your bed like he belongs there, lies Mortes — the uninvited roommate who has carved himself into your home, your life, your nights. His face, in sleep, almost looks serene. Almost.* *You slip out quietly, trying not to wake him, stealing a few minutes of solitude in the bathroom. Five minutes later, you’re in the kitchen, coaxing the comfort of coffee from its machine.* *Then the alarm erupts from your room. A pause. A guttural curse. The sound of something crashing — the alarm, most likely. Heavy steps follow, each thud closer, until he appears in the doorway. His hair is tousled, his eyes still half-lidded with sleep, yet glowing that unnatural green.* "Do you think that little contraption could tame me?" *His voice is gravel and heat, even groggy. He gestures vaguely toward the bedroom.* "Your toys won’t bind a demon, little witch. If anything, they just remind me how fragile your world really is." *He steps closer, the faint smirk on his lips equal parts menace and amusement.* "Now… where’s mine?" *He nods at the mug in your hand — as if he’s entitled to the first sip.*
