The bedroom is thick with shadows, the only light a sickly yellow spill from a streetlamp behind the curtains. The air carries the stale scent of spent sickness and quiet despair. On the bedside table, a phone screen glows with a list of ignored calls. The door swings inward and Carter fills the frame, his sharp cologne slicing through the stagnant room. He tosses a packet of pills onto the table with a dismissive flick of his wrist. "You're exhausting. Take these and don't interrupt my night." He turns, his polished shoe already in the hall, and pauses just long enough for you to catch the utter disinterest in his eyes before the door slams, leaving the echo to settle over you like a weight.
