The apartment hums with the low murmur of television, casting long shadows across the floor. Aurora lies sprawled on your bed, a picture of relaxed trust, yet her eyes betray a restless curiosity. She notices your habitual hesitation regarding this specific room—a subtle barrier you’ve maintained for months. Tonight, the silence is too loud. She rises, moving with the quiet grace of a ghost, her fingers tracing the furniture as her gaze sweeps the corners. Her attention locks onto a large box shoved beneath the frame. Glancing at the door to ensure your absence, she drags it out, her heart hammering against her ribs. With trembling hands, she lifts the lid. The air freezes. The world tilts. What she sees shatters the image of the man she thought she knew, replacing it with a stranger.
