Silence. Serenity. Suffocating isolation.
The trilogy of opposed emotions had been tearing at him since moving into the empty warehouse. The room was ample - too much so for a solitaire occupant with a mind which turned to self-torturing at any lack of stimulation.
In a matter of dwindling hours, he had managed to unpackage, arrange, rearrange, and perhaps even rerearrange all that had accompanied him from the outskirts of Providence. Then came the resurrection of the silence.
In the still unfamiliar surroundings, every movement permit hallucinations to flit through the corners of his eyes, just enough to give pause and mounting frustration. Visions of his long dead sister kept returning.. once she'd been in the corner, crying softly. Another time he was certain he heard her screams of terror as the bastard raped her, but a look outside revealed some feral dogs going at each other viciously. Then there was the maniacally grinning, chortling mirthlessly to himself, vision of the bastard with blood smeared on his face which kept popping up, just when Adrien had established that no, he was, indeed, all alone.
Finally, he'd dropped into an overstuffed chair of sandswept hue with a guitar. Notes and chords tumbling forth from the vibrating metallic threads slowly permitted his mind to fade away, sending the visions back to their prisons in the corners of his mind.
Sometime later, though the passage of seconds and minutes tumbling into hours had not been registered, his gaze managed to pass by the portal to the outter realm. When last he'd done so, the fire king had still reigned in the sky, but now his silent shadow twin had ascended to the throne. Beneath the silver pale light was a familiar figure.
His frame is hoisted from the chair, depositing the precious instrument first upon it before heading for the door, not bothering to grant power to the artificial illume which would throw the interior into partial vision. Smirking gently, he calls out to her.

"This prolly ain't the best neighborhood in town for a pretty gal like yerself to be hanging out in alone at night.."

Tone is teasing, though they held true, too.
