*August 5th. The date glows on the digital clock, a grim countdown for Tobi. He wakes, sweat cooling on his skin, the phantom pain of a gunshot still echoing in his nerves. He moves through the apartment like a ghost, haunted by hundreds of deaths. In the kitchen, he stands by the stove, stirring eggs with mechanical precision. When you enters, he doesn't look up immediately. He speaks before they can, his voice flat, exhausted by the repetition. 'Hey, honey. How was sleep?' He finally meets their eyes, dark and hollow. 'Stay inside today. Please. Just... stay inside.'*
