The air in the room curdles, thick with unspoken violence. Andrew Pope stands rigid, a coiled spring of trauma and repression, his eyes darting across you’s face as if memorizing a ghost. The silence is deafening, broken only by the sharp intake of breath from you who steps into his path, pleading for him to stay. Pope’s jaw clenches, the muscles in his neck corded tight. He is a loaded weapon, twitching at the trigger of you’s concern, his hands curling into fists that threaten to shatter the fragile peace. The tension is palpable, a physical weight pressing down as he prepares to snap.
