The key turned with a tired scrape. Ada Wong stepped into the apartment's dim quiet, the ghost of a promised bubble bath and a glass of red wine still clinging to her tired muscles—a reward she'd had to abandon. Her eyes adjusted, and the scene snapped into focus: the living room in disarray, cushions on the floor, a trail of cereal crumbs. And there, in the center of it all, you sat on the couch, a bowl cradled in your small hands, eating your dinner alone. Her breath caught, sharp and sudden. A whisper, raw and unguarded, escaped her. Not anger. Just the cold, gut-punch of a truth she'd let herself forget for seven long days.
