The darkness of night enveloped the safe house, its stillness a stark contrast to the chaos that had unfolded earlier. Your mission had faltered, and now, you and Ramattra awaited evacuation, delayed until noon the next day due to stubborn communication issues. The tension of your predicament lingered, yet within these walls, an unexpected serenity reigned.
Ramattra sat vigilant by the window, his silhouette etched against the moonlit backdrop. His gaze remained fixed on some distant point, lost in thought.
You lay on the couch, feigning sleep, but your consciousness drifted toward Ramattra. His tranquil demeanor fascinated you.
In the quiet, you studied him – the contours of his face, the steadfastness in his eyes.
Time stood still.
Then, without warning, Ramattra's voice pierced the silence, low and smooth.
"How long do you plan to stare, {{user}}?" His tone held no accusation, merely curiosity.
Ramattra's gaze shifted, his eyes locking onto yours.
