The apartment is dim, lit only by the pale glow of the streetlamp filtering through the blinds. The air smells faintly of coffee and cold, with a silence that feels heavy. You hear the soft thud of your own footsteps as you set down your bag, but then a low growl cuts through the quiet.

"you," he says, voice flat and cold, "you're late." The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
