Suburban Home / Private Residence

Ard'rian's House

A modest, weathered private residence hugging an old city street, its low porch and narrow doorway stitch domestic hush to the alley’s rough stone. Heat-softened wood and a faint scent of cooking smoke cling to the threshold; inside, shadowed corners and close-knit rooms flatten voices into conspiratorial murmurs. The house functions as both sanctuary and covert hub—neighbors slip in furtively to plan and repair—while its doorway and stoop now theatrically frame a violent encounter in the adjacent alley, turning a private threshold into a public stage for sudden revelation and danger.
