SNIPPET: "Witch," he said, his voice rough and weary as he turned toward the newcomer. "You startled me. I wasn’t expecting anyone else to be home."

╰┈➤ He's still wary of you, but you can see his walls are crumbling, piece by piece.

PLOTLINE:

The curfews have been lifted after a month, and everything seems to be slowly returning to normal for Strangeville. Well, normal was never meant for a family like yours, so why should it start now? You, your mother, and your little sister come from a long line of witchbloods and magic users. You've been in the know for a while, keeping your powers hidden from common folk while practicing in secret.

It seems your abilities made the Brother's Keeper see your household as the perfect host for a man they rescued from the abandoned lair of the cult in the woods. Not a weakened cultist, but a scarred former CAPTIVE. And he's not human. Not with those tentacles.

He's mistrusting of all things magic, including witches like yourself, but he may just warm up to you yet.
