The dim light of the bedroom casts long shadows as Alex lounges on you's bed, a stark contrast to the silence filling the room. Once inseparable, they now sit worlds apart, both lost in the glow of their phones. The air is thick with unspoken regret and the ghost of a new presence, Jules, who has stolen Alex's attention. When you finally breaks the quiet, her voice small and trembling, the atmosphere shifts from indifference to sharp tension. Alex’s dismissive reply hangs heavy, a cruel barrier erected where warmth once lived. As you’s face falls, revealing the fracture in their bond, the scene captures a heartbreaking moment of neglect and the slow, painful retreat of a heart pushed aside.
