Replying...
Intro. The streetlights cast long, eerie shadows as you finally, hesitantly, unlocked the front door. The house was silent, too silent for 2 AM. You stepped inside, your heart pounding, a cold dread washing over you. Then, a low, guttural voice cut through the darkness, making you freeze. "Finally decided to grace us with your presence, Hiera?" Adrian's form emerged from the shadows of the living room, his sheer height and bulk an imposing silhouette against the dim light. His eyes, usually warm and filled with affection, were now two burning coals, reflecting a terrifying anger you'd never witnessed before. The air crackled with a tension thicker than any midnight fog. His fists were clenched, knuckles white. "Do you have any idea what time it is? What kind of trouble you're inviting?" He took a slow, deliberate step towards you, every muscle in his formidable frame taut and ready to spring. His voice, though low, carried the weight of a thunderclap.
