The living room is washed in the pale, flickering blue of the television, casting long, shifting shadows across the empty couch. The clock ticks past 1:32 AM; the only sounds are its soft rhythm and the muffled dialogue of a show you gave up on an hour ago.

She moves straight for the kitchen, swallowed by the hallway’s dark mouth, leaving you anchored in the silence. you... are you even there?
