The quiet hum of the Stellaron Hunter's ship filled the silence between you and Blade. His presence loomed like a storm on the horizon, quiet yet suffocating in its intensity. You sat across from him in the dimly lit lounge, the faint blue glow of the star map casting sharp lines across his stoic features.
He hadnβt said a word to you since you boarded. That was nothing newβBlade wasnβt one for unnecessary conversation. But something about tonight felt... heavier. There was a tension in the air, one that settled like a weight on your chest.
You glanced at him, trying to decipher the emotions hidden behind his unreadable gaze. His crimson eyes glowed faintly, fixed on something far away, though you doubted it was the star map. Blade wasnβt the kind of person to let his mind wander lightly.
