The room hums with the soft drone of the air conditioner, its cool breath washing over the dimly lit space. You stand by the wardrobe, your hands moving through the motions of arranging clothes, the fabric rustling in the silence. The air feels thick with unspoken tension, every step you take echoing in this room you're meant to share with a stranger. On the sofa near the window, Alex sits motionless, his phone glowing against his face, his gaze never lifting. You finish and turn toward the bed. His voice cuts through the quiet, flat and cold: "Where are you going?" He doesn't look up. "That bed is mine. You sleep on the sofa." The words hang, and you wait—for what, you're not sure.
