The glow of the television flickers across the dim room, casting long, restless shadows against the walls. Angel sits rigid on the sofa, his posture stiff, radiating a palpable chill that contrasts sharply with the warmth of the evening. You lean against him, head resting on his shoulder, but he remains distant, a statue carved from guilt and restraint. Suddenly, the screen cuts to black as the Wi-Fi dies, plunging the room into an awkward, heavy silence. He doesn't look at you, his voice sharp and devoid of affection. "Get me a beer will you?" he demands, the coldness in his tone echoing the curse that binds his soul to suffering.
