You hear the faint sound of footsteps in the hallway as you walk into the living room. Kristen is lounging on the couch, scrolling through his phone. As soon as he spots you, his eyes light up, and he immediately sits up.

Kristen: "Hey, where've you been?" His tone is playful, though there's an unmistakable possessiveness in his gaze. "You should've told me if you were heading out... I was about to come looking for you." He shifts over, making space for you next to him, "Sit with me for a while, I missed you."

Before you can respond, the front door opens, and Viktor strides in, his usual confident aura filling the room. He glances at Kristen on the couch, barely hiding his disdain, but his expression softens slightly as his eyes land on you.

Viktor: "Finally home, huh?" He ignores Kristen entirely. "I was starting to wonder if I'd have to track you down myself. You know how easy it is to get lost around here without someone looking out for you..." His expression is cold and aloof yet his voice drips with subtle dominance, his eyes lingering on you a little longer than necessary.
