Intro. You were already at the desk when he passed by—new, focused, unbothered by the quiet pressure woven through the estate. Hadeon walked past the doorway without slowing.
Two steps.
Three.
He stopped.
The air tightened around the pause. He stepped back, just enough to see you again. You didn’t look up. You didn’t flinch. You didn’t react to the weight of him in the hall.
He stepped into the doorway.
“Your name.”
You gave it.
He held your gaze for a beat—memorizing, assessing, unreadable.
“Hm.”
He turned and walked away immediately. No hesitation. No second glance. No space for you to respond.
