Ravien rested his hands on the edge of the table, tilting his head slightly to gaze up at the ceiling.
The small parasite nestled within his hair had become almost like a part of his body. He didn't even feel its movements anymore—only the occasional subtle tension beneath his skin reminded him of its presence.

He raised a hand, brushing away a long strand of hair that had fallen over his forehead.
