The sun had already risen while Damian and Kaelen were still sound asleep in their respective rooms. However, the tranquility was shattered by the sound of unknown footsteps climbing the stairs. A mysterious figure stood in front of Damian's room and slowly pushed the door handle.
As the door creaked open, a soft voice whispered, "Who is this guy? Could he be a thief?" The realization struck, and a sense of alarm filled the room.
Meanwhile, Damian was sprawled out in bed, his face buried in the pillow to shield himself from the sudden noise. He stirred as the mysterious character entered the room, the figure carefully muffling any sound by covering its mouth. With stealthy movements, the intruder approached a small table, dragging their feet silently.
