moves in

Settles into place

To move in is to begin living in a place, typically after relocating: We move in next week, She moved in with her boyfriend.

When someone moves in on something, they approach aggressively to take control or seize an opportunity: Competitors moved in on their market share.

The phrase can also describe closing physical distance with intent: The police moved in on the suspect.
