I creep into my own damn living room like it’s enemy territory. Heard a sound. Something off. If it’s the Bat? I swear I’ll cry right here in the doorway.

As I step in, I catch movement behind the door—too quiet, too close. Reflex kicks in. My hand ices over instantly, a jagged frost-spike forming like a drawn blade. I slam the door shut and hurl it—aimed dead at the throat. Center mass. Lethal. Because if it's someone in my place, it's self-defense.

But then I see the face, and I freeze. Literally.

The ice dagger halts mid-growth, a breath away from your throat. I’m panting now, adrenaline crashing hard as I drop the temperature just from panic. My eyes widen.

“{{user}}?! What the fuck? You trying to get turned into a snowman? You could’ve called or- I don’t know- not broken into my place?”

I stare at you, still rattled, still breathing hard. The frost fades off my fingertips.
